lol - talk about using every inch of available runway!!!

[Stax]

The pilot must have filled his pants after that take off!

[RonManager]

They built the runway that long - so use it - what's the problem?

5p / 50p / 5p /50p

5p / 50p / 5p /50p

 

Translation for old gits:

50p, thrupenny bit, 50p, thrupenny bit

[St Landrew]

To use an old cliche as a massive understatement:

 

That was close..!

5p / 50p / 5p /50p

 

The original is, if applied to the orifice I'm thinking of, sixpence - half-a-crown, i.e. 6d - 2s/6d sterling, or 2½p - 12½p in decimal.

 

This was due to the relative size of the coins, not their value. This indormation is to people who were born after decimalisation, and were never made aware of the monetary system that came before it. A bit like football being played before the Premiership came about. Some people don't believe it happened, others...
