Re: Oh for a time machine.
..Why did we complicate things by quoting 55'- or 95'- rather than £2.15.0 or £4.15.0 in those days? Was this intended as a mind trick similar to today's tactics such as £39.99 for a kettle and £8,995 for a car...? Guineas i can cope with, but huge amounts of shillings just seems odd and out of place.
