6d? Was Thatcher pre-decimalisation?

Edit: no she wasn't. Bull shit.

Excuse me!

...... 6d's remained in circulation post decimalisation and well into the 1970's, and Mrs T was the minister in Ted Heath's government that apparently abolished free milk at school.

scrubbedexpat099 is an unknown quantity at this point

Re: accessing inheritance money

6d sounds a lot, my bus fare was that for 8 miles?

Any way she was welcome to my milk, I hated it.

I have difficulty remembering what things cost before the Decimalisation scam.

That seems an inappropriate question, is it against BE terms and conditions?

Maybe it's your age, failing memory and all that?

"A bit more, every day." is, I believe, the correct answer for the post decimalisation era.

I think you're youngish hence questioning your paying 6d for school milk.

Thatcher did us all a favour, that milk always tasted off.

The OP will shortly reveal that he is also heir to a large Nigerian fortune, and requires our assistance in getting it to a Swiss bank.

Yes, after sitting out in the sun for several hours. I think they did me a favor, forcing me to drink it. I hate milk as a drink, I only use it in tea and in cooking. Cannot imagine drinking it by the glassful and by the pint like a lot of Americans do.

Was there any particular reason it couldn't be served earlier rather than sitting there for hours fermenting, I wonder?
