I remember Woolies well, I was a "Saturday Boy" in the Guildford one when in the sixth form. They went decimal while I was there, and I remember the lady on the fruit and veg, Peggy her name was, she used to say "ten noo, please" instead of "two bob". Confused, we all were. Threepence and sixpence. Those were the days. The days before I was born, I think :-) |
