Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

The shilling became 5p as well, the only two coins which came through decimalisation in this period, you could still see them up until the early 1990s when they reduced the size of the 5p and 10p coins.
