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.
