RiffRaff   10 #50 Posted December 21, 2015 Wimpy bar was on pinstone street I used to work there.  You may well have served me and my pal, then!  We used to go a couple of times a week for a "Shanty Brunch" - sort of a square fishcakey-thing and chips! This was probably just after we turned decimal in '71 : I could be totally wrong, but 46p seems to ring a bell?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A pint of beer was about 10p when we went decimal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Maybe it was 4/6, and pre-decimal!  I was in London the day we went decimal, and even after all those 5-minute TV tuition jobs for months before, people were still confused! I joined a queue at the Gloucester Road tube station kiosk to grab some of my usual ciggies, and found the seller was trying to sell 'em at double the price!  ---------- Post added 22-12-2015 at 20:07 ----------  I bet I will have served you and your pal it was cheap and always packed.  The one I remember was a small, dark-haired lass - she was really lovely! If I hadn't been spoken for at the time....well....who knows?! Could've been free Shanty Brunches for life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
