So 6 million are sold per year. Er- those are all guesses. -- Anton |

Hey, I'm willing to work with the stereotypes, even if I loathe SUVs. Seriously, my cart finally gave up the ghost, much like the 1-horse shay. Pretty much everything on it is worn out, after only 27 years of hard use, and replacing all the wood at least a couple of times. I'm pretty annoyed with such shoddy construction, but I've bought another, currently in its two cartons in the front hall, awaiting assembly. Let me hasten to add that I only have one shed. Cheers!

Shoes always seemed to be 49/11d Yes, I remember, but I also remember the habit of writing 6 pounds 3 shillings and 6 pence as 6 3/6. Hence the query. Now I come to think of it, why was I interested in the exact price of a wheelbarrow in 1964? Bizarre. But that's why I asked. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I'm trying to put these numbers in proper context. How much was a pint of beer then? If I remember correctly, under a couple of bob. I remember Watney's Gaslight being 11 pence, but that may have been a half. Anyway, it was distinguished by being a 'beer' that you could drink several pints of at lunchtime without affecting your ability to think in the afternoon. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
