It's just so strange - like the fixation on 'imperial units'. I actually remember, just about, getting my pocket money in pre-decimal currency & can even still remember the advertising jingle of the decimalization public information films. But so what? Why would anyone *care* about this?
Dan wasn't even born before decimalisation (nor was he anywhere near the UK when he was born) but still he yearns for Britain's pre-decimal times 55 years later.
