I was not born yet xxdk

Have you tried thinking in units of 16

If I see a sign saying X is 30 Kms. I make that 32 Kms (near enough for the purpose)

32 is two units of 16 so it's 20 miles (16 Kms being ten miles)

If your method is quicker do please let me know

I like Kilometres... you seem to get there a lot quicker!

My method is to say "Dave how many miles is that"

I just asked him how he works it out and he said he looks at the speedo!!! There I was thinking he was clever

Hmmm, I remember most of that, too

Actually, the reference to Roman coins wasn't that far out!
LSD stood for Libri, solidi & denarii - them blinkin' ancient Romans never let go!

I can remember my Dad cussing when petrol went up to 1/6d (7.5p) a gallon, and my mum swearing to stop smoking when the cigs went up to 2/6d (12.5p) for 20. She didn't.
My Dad thought he'd overspent when he bought a second-hand Morris car for £300.

Funnily enough, the £25 I spent on getting Kali would have seemed expensive, but not excessive.

I remember you used to be able to get a lot of sweets for 3d. Penny chews, black jacks, fruit salads, frying pan lollies, tobermory tatties were all about 1d. Hmm no wonder I hated going to the dentist!!

Oh yes McCowans penny dainties, loved em.

And you could get the big bars with the highland coo on the front..that really gummed up your jaws.

Ha ha, used to encourage the wife to chew a lot of those.

I remember it, in my dad's old money drawer.
