Hi Norm
I love those stories.
It shows the generation change in thinking about debt.
I guess it also shows the special relationship bank managers had in
rural communities. I think your mum's bank manager was an armchair
economist - part of the 'new bread'.
Kye, the understanding of pricing in old currency is educational
for you then. Victa's pricing of �49/18/- meant 49 pound, 18 shillings,
no pence. So, almost fifty quid (pound).
Pricing is important in understanding vintage lawnmowers.
The video shows how complicated the old currency really was.
