???? I have a fully functioning 39 year old wheelbarrow
purchased for 63/6p in 1964.
I can even tell you where I got it - if you want to see if they have
any left. ;-)

I doubt it! Pence were 'd' in 1964 :-)

You mean 3 pounds 3 shillings and 6 pence, I assume?

nah, he means 63/6d - don't you remember the habit of quoting everything
in shillings? Shoes always seemed to be 49/11d
