Seriously, I lament demise of imperial units

What I miss most is that when I first started drinking (11 years after the demise of the farthing), you could go out for the evening with a ten bob note (50p), now it won't even buy you a 1/4 of an imperial pint.

....and now you mention it, my first suit was 9 guineas!

....and my mother told me off for my extravagance....
