As has been pointed out before, there is the Daily Mail Cryptic and the Daily Mail Pitcherwits crosswords

[Tilly2]

Well, there you go!

[Mamyalynne]

At least we got the right paper - some just say 'what's 14d?'

[Flonska]

touché?

[Tilly2]

Confusing, innit? I don't even read The Daily Mail.

//At least we got the right paper - some just say 'what's 14d?'//

One and tuppence - innit!

[Tilly2]

Good one, Flonska!

[Captain2]

@ Flonska, Very Good! (and yes I'm well old enough to remember)

[Tilly2]

What's a 'One'?

[Flonska]

My training to become a "decimal adviser" stood me in good stead and since 15/02/1971, I have always refused to succumb to using the expression of "pee" to describe all denominations of pence.

[Flonska]

In real money, Tilly, "One" would mean . . . a shilling - (usually written as 1/-). 1/6d would be said as "One and Six"
