The Walrus at work	Lyr Add: Thirteen Pence a Day (5)	RE: Lyr Add: Thirteen Pence a Day	16 Oct 01
LtS, Not particularly, a friend returned a disc with the song on and I decided to check if it was in the DT. Herga Kitty, Thirteen pence a day was, the British private soldier's basic daily rate of pay (1/- per day + 1d "beer money") for something in excess of 100 years, so I'm surprised there was not more mention of it(it wasn't considered a good rate of pay, even in the 1970s). Malcolm, The Dots are in Palmer's "The Rambling Soldier", unfortunately, my copy has gone walkabout. Best Wishes Walrus
