I hope she says that. She's already descending into loving madness, might as well go full on disconnect from reality and get herself sectioned.

Non Sense! As a Pensioner (Who has Never Been on the Dole!) I Recall so Now listen children. Once upon a Time, there were Pounds, Shillings, and Pence.

Back in Those Days you could buy real objects for a few pence such as the Vaunted English Breakfast. Useful  amounts such as 1/8 pounds were expressed as 2 shillings and sixpence, and written as 2/6 Also known as  half a Crown. Children learned to Add and Subtract different values of the coin of the realm. BUT you had to convert pence to shillings or vice versa or such like.

It was also hard to compute decimal fractions or percentages of pounds. There were 3d bits, 6d bits etc.  there were fractions of penniesc such as one 1/2, and 1/4 (known as a farthing)

In 1971 ONLY a few Years After the UK joined the EU (Which was Merely a Trade Bloc at that time), the UKingdom converted to a decimal system. There were 100 'new pennies', abbreviated to 'p' in a pound. Coins that were no longer compatible were phased out. Goodbye to 1d, 3d, half a  crown. A shilling worth with 1/20 pounds, i.e. 5p. 5p coins were moved and were the same shape and size as the shillings. Sixpenny bits were useful and so even though they were 2 1/2p they were  kept around for a while. Which All in All was a loss of British identity And Shows
