How is a Mars bar a fuckin quid now?!?
The thing that's breaking my brain right now is the price of spam
I recently had a broken fridge and had to live off non-refrigerated items for a while. It's more expensive to eat tinned meats (corned beef, spam etc.) than it is to eat fresh/frozen meats. That broke me a bit.
Spam spam spam spam
SPAMLY SPAM, WONDERFUL SPAM!…
It's because a quid is worth much elss that it used to be, not because a mars bar is worth more (although I'm sure some of it is increased profit margins masked as inflation gouging customers too)
Hey, American here. I watch tons of old British telly and I thought i had a good understanding of currency terms but now I'm confused. I thought a quid is just another word for a pound?
While im here, is pence-pennies,tuppence-2 pennies, a shilling-like a dime or something,bob-just slang for pound? Plus you guys had the euro sort of wander in before brevity, it's all so confusing.
I think of quid as the british equivalent of "bucks"
But a buck is 1$, and the post states 2£ compensation? Or did it cost 1£? That's where I am confusion.
It cost a quid and he got two back so he can buy two mars bars.
A shilling used to be 12 pence, and there were 20 shillings in a pound for 240 pence to the pound, before we decimalised.
A dime is 10 cent, but that's just the name for the coin. Shillings used to be a part of the number system which was split into three tiers, not two with a decimal place.
Bob used to be slang for a shilling, not a pound.
We've never had the euro. The Republic of Ireland uses the euro, but if you call them British you'll get into real trouble.
