    International games seem even weirder without a crowd for some reason.

    Which is one of the reasons why it shouldn't be there. Is Ronaldo supposed to miss out?

    Yeah, just reading through the thread and saw archers post a few seconds after i quoted you :grin:

    True story...
    When i was an apprentice i worked with a bloke called "bob" (Robert), everyone called him four and half.
    One day i was working with one of the other guys and said "why do you call bob four and half?".
    His reply cracked me up, four and half p youngun, he aint a full shilling <laugh>

    EDIT.... For context the changed to "new money" had not long happened.

    Think I remember some of it, so a shilling was 12d ? The only reason I think I remember that was because of thruppenny bit, which then became sixpence (x2) hence then a shilling. Then half a crown, that's when I get lost again.

    Half a crown was 2’ 6d (two and six)

    12.5p in new money.

    **** knows how I remember this stuff. Loved those old thruppeny bits though, you could get handfuls of sweets for one of them.

    I've still got a few (used) old coins, absolutely no idea where I got them from.

    Just looked at them, three old farthings from 1919&44,46 couple of thruppeny bits 1960&61, one shilling 1951, one old penny 1900 and the good ole sixpence! Don't know why I've kept them really.
