I'll give ya a freppeny bit n two farvings guv

Speak American damn it, or at least provide a translation.

Threepence was equal to three old Pennys
A Farthing was a quarter of a Penny, still in use when Lucy and I were kids
2s 6d is two old shillings ( 12 pence epr shilling so 24 old pence ) Making 30 pence in total.
2s 6d was also half a crown, hence my link to Rons "Price of a usurper" quote

Obvious if your over 45 and from the UK innit.

I have absolutely no idea what you just said.

You Brits need to learn to speak American, or Ametican.

Well, I guess I have to start looking all this up.

Here in the U.S. "bob" is the guy I call when I need my toilet fixed.

That didn't help.

I'm still trying to figure out why an ass is an arse but a fanny is a vagina.

Of course, the British resisted decimalising the currency until 1972 because they thought it would be too complicated...
