A lady I used to know in the 1980s, when she was over 90, told me she started work with her father in the fields when she was a child and earned 3d (3 old pence - a quarter of a shilling [5p]) a week. She gave her mother 1d, and saved a farthing (a quarter of an old penny), which left her a farthing a day to spend on sweets. |
