I am a confused imperial/metric person too.

I'm sure they once tried to introduce a plastic £1 note.

I'm probably just old/mental

How did that schoolyard ditty go?

"If I give you one and six will you let me see your nicks?

If I give you half a crown can I pull your nickers down?"

Or something like that.

I found a ten bob note on the pavement once when I was a child, it was so valuable that I took it to the cop shop.

They gave it to me after 3 months and it bought the groceries for that week and a little change!

'Twas only aniseed ***** that you could get four for a penny.

I always had to buy an even number of black jacks to fruit salads.Some sort of obsessive compulsive thing.
