I can understand the basic weights and measures, but beyond that it's like some arcane code for initiated! :G
Chains, furlongs :?: Where's the sense in 16 oz to the lb (or 12 oz troy) and then 14 lbs to the stone! I'm a simple soul - multiples of 10 I can understand.
£.s.d :!: does that mean you just take a wild guess to measure value?

Not at all, we were still on the gold standard in those days when money really had some tangable, measuerable value.
Who would have thought it, 8/- for a bag of crisps.

When you could say "Thrupenny Bits" and not breach the mod's swearing ban....... :55:
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
