OK, for those of you who don't know what a shilling (s.) is or can't remember gallons :
there were 20 shillings in a pound, so 5s. (or 5 bob) was 25p,
there are about 4.5 litres to an imperial gallon,
So the 5s. gallon (shock, horror) was about 5.5p per litre...now that was a while ago...Past: S2 ABY coupe RS2 spec with lots of mods, S4 B5 saloon, RS6 C5 saloon, S8 D2 FL, RS4 B7 saloon, S4 B6 avant

and when I was at school, we had to do LSD (pounds, shillings, and pence - not drugs) arithmetic without a calculator...in fact calculators hadn't even been invented...
did I mention that there were 12 pennies in a shilling...?

If we're playing British Bulldog I'll probably have to write a risk assessment for it... there was always that nicely vague legend that somebody, at some school, somewhere had died playing it and it was on the verge of being illegal. (Though someone will probably claim that it happened at their school)
I need to nip into work before Billing weekend so will pick up the rounders equipment! Will have to play a long way away from the cars though, or it could add an exciting element to Show and Shine!An s2 stole my husband!
