I do have vague memories of that ad.. I remember 'a litre of water is a pint and 3/4s'. I still work in pounds and pints (although when in Europe I work in litres and grams - with the aid of a conversion table).
What I do, vividly, remember is finding an old receipt which jogged my memory. I bought a punnet of cress for 2 1/2d (tuppence ha'penny) one week and the same purchase the next week was 2 and a half pence i.e. an old sixpence - massive inflation!

Bevercotes Togo,started in June '66 working in the PHB's till September when the apprenticeship started on the princely wage of £5/5s a week with nothing extra for going underground. Did nearly 30 years there and worked everywhere from the faces and headings to the winders and coal prep lot's of good times and some really bad times,but I've never met people like the lads at the pit I still see quite a few of them roundand about and they all say the same they don't miss the job but they do miss the "lads"
