>From my cousin Martin

Hi Russell,

When I were a boy...

Farthings were still used in the UK in the very early 60's - 
"Blackjack"
sweets were a farthing each at the village shop. This was Bradenstoke, 
just
up the road from RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, and BEFORE shops converted 
to
self-service! Many houses had thatched roofs and no significant 
plumbing, we
lived in a 32 foot caravan...
