[QUOTE="TimeFlipper, post: 112159, member: 6456"] Hi Prof.. The only posting that im very dubious about, is that Mr Squirrel (i think he lost his nuts somewhere lol) Not only does he have a unbelievable name (maybe is was a false one to protect his real identity) but back in 1973 he bcould NOT have paid "one shilling" for anything, let alone stationary.. This is because back in February 1971, the UK went into Decimal coinage, and by 1973 all of our previous coinage, which was pounds shillings and pence, would have been withdrawn from circulation.. The only possibilty here is that Mr Squirrel "might" have had an old one shilling coin on him at the time, but when interviewed by Tim Swartz he would have mentioned that the old shilling was now replaced by the new Five Pence decimal coin :) Thanks for this posting Prof :) The part that intrigued me was the guy Mr Squirrel (thats a great old English name lol :D), BUT..he must have gone back in time wearing the clothes and having the currency of that time-period..Here`s why..Firstly he didnt startle the lady who served him the stationary with his clothing, and secondly the UK went into decimal coinage in Feb 1971 and all the old currency would have been withdrawn from circulation by 1973...remember that he paid for the stationary with a "shilling", which is now called a five pence coin (5p) and smaller than the shilling..;) [/QUOTE]
