Bazoaxe Jul 2018 9:10pm, 27 Jul 2018 13,267 posts	0 Bazoaxe I am too young to remember decimalisation. Just But, way back then my Grandfather was a corner shop owner. His last shop was scandalously compulsory purchased by Edinburgh Council for way under market value, along with 3 flats in the same block for which he received £1 each as he was renting them and not living there. The brewery for whom the Compulsory Purchase was carried out never did expand and guess what, its now a new build Sainsbury's Local with new student flats. Anyway, back on topic, when I was a lad there was a stash of plastic credit card decimal conversion cards with my Grandad's shop logo on them which my brother and I had. I wish I still had at least one now. Off on another tangent my brother once put one of these plastic cards on the bulb in his bedside lamp to see what would happen. I heard some noise and went to his room to see him beating the inevitable fire out with a juice bottle. Some of his favourite bears were burned beyond repair. Those were the days
