I assume you have been out all day.

I let myself in and have been serving the regulars in your absence.

Mrs TG seems to have given the slate a well needed spring clean and put the 'honesty box' in a safe place as well.

Wasn't a "Ninny" an incobsequential piece in the wonderful "Take the Brain" board game? I assume some of the elders here won't remember it - it was, after all made from plastics and not carved stone or wood.

In closer inspection, the Ninny looked very like the legend that is Snakey. And about the same height, too.

I can remember when Farthings and silver threepenny bits were in circulation.


(However, I can't remember when that was.  redface:)

Farthings ceased to be legal tender in 1960 although they stopped minting them in 1956.
The Silver Threepenny bit was last minted in 1945. They had been in circulation alongside the brass version for some years. During the last few years of the silver coin they were only issued in the West Indies.










Thank you Google
