Happy Christmas Memories.

[John Albert Evans]

I was just thinking that when I was a little boy, a long time ago now, how strange it was that at Christmas I always found the silver thrupeny bit in the Christmas Pudding.(God Bless you Mum).

It was a silver sixpence John, looks like you have been underspending, the thrupenni bit had eight perimeter sides, happy christmas and watch yer teeth on them there coins

[Frederick Lacey]

We had our Christmas Pud, but couldn't make up my mind whether to have Double Cream, Custard or Brandy Butter on it.
Decisions, Decisions,!!!!!!F

little correction!

Sure was ,a Silver "threepenny bit" gradually went out of circulation , possibly,sometime,in the Forties.
Along with the Farthing.

In the 50"s I think Evan, about the same time as the big white Fivers. Wouldn't of minded a few of them made into an overcoat. Cheers JS

[Ivan Cloherty]

Gentlemen #7 and #8, my apologies, I stand corrected, now that my brain is semi working again I think the eight sided superceded the silver thrupenni bit and we retained the silver tanner, memories they are like buses, they come and go!
