Bah! You were in the late twenties when decimal coinage were introduced.
I'll wager you've not seen a BSA or Norton, boy. You can't shout over the
throttles, not like these flatulent Harveys, my foot. And you need a real
lorry to carry one if it breaks down. Ah, the good ole days when the sun
never sets in the British empire and you can get an ale at 3 in the
afternoon. Shouldn't have a lassie running the gov, like having the missie
telling you to put down the toilet seat.
Double hurrumph back to you.
