I mean out in a pub, not sneaking a gob full of double diamond behind the settee at your cousins wedding.
For EO - It was the Eden Vale in Bootle and I was sixteen, just left school afew weeks earlier, and I went in and pushed through the crowd and asked for 'two pints of beer'.
The barmaid said 'mild ok' 'er.... yes'
and that was it. 1/6d each IIRC (about 8p) and I was pissed as a fart
In those days we had pounds shillings and pence. twenty shillings in a pound, twelve pennies in a shilling. One shilling and sixpence, one and a half shillings, was written like this
