I missed number 12 off........ So Sorry........50% of a pair of panties


ttfn sick squid £6. prudie got that one, but prudie there were three far things there. And not a smacker but it's still a pound.

[tamborine]

thought 3p were coppers

[Prudie]

Oh I see so it's 3 farthings for 5
Half a nicker for 12 - 10 shillings?

[boxtops]

12. that'll be a nicker (£1) then..

[tamborine]

thrupenny bits = tits

[ttfn]

50 panties = knickers = £50
(A pair of patriotic knickers = £2)

[tamborine]

10. (guinea) pig - £1.1s

[ttfn]

doh 50 pairs ttfn! = £100 sorry gran

[ttfn]

What was wrong with astronomical amount ? <<gonna sulk now - pah>>

[askyourgran]

A Nicker was a pound so half a knicker is 10.bob ttfn and you haven't got no.10 right.
Ape knee right X Ray and boxy.
There didn't seem to be a decent question to put for a florin tambo, but see if you can get no 9 and no.10. they haven't been answered yet.

[askyourgran]

Nothing wrong with the astronomical amount ttfn but is was 3/4d :-) . If you get 9 and 10 could you add them together (in old £ s d) to say how much it all adds up to?

[felly]

9. A stone - £14

[ttfn]

Am I getting something wrong gran? You put 50 pairs of panties so 50 x 2 x £1 = £100

[felly]

That might be wrong though as it could be new money as well.

[askyourgran]

No you are correct felly

ttfn 50% of a pair of knickers > that is half a knicker (50%) 10/-

[ttfn]

I am full of contrition gran - I do beg your pardon. I never saw the % mark. Humble, humble I am. Actually I am not having a good evening and cant see the screen for the tears falling down my face with all the laughing tonight. I shall bow out as quietly as I can ♥

[felly]

Wouldn't 50% of a pair of knickers be one knicker (if there was such a thing) ie £1

[Mamyalynne]

£32 17s 8 1/2d
