When the guy behind you at work is trying to explain £sd to the 30 somethings sitting near him - you understand perfectly but they are looking at him as though he's speaking Klingon!

I'm 53 and remember buying a comic from the local shop and being given this strange (but shiny) money in return.

It involved a lot of swearing, and usually blisters. IIRC.

Liquorice, yep. With what would now probably be a non PC pic of a black boy on the wrapper.
