I started school DEC 1970 and by FEB 1971 decimilisation happened. I don't really remember about pounds, schillings and pence as I was only just 5 years old.

Lol - could make you feel really old now girls - my DAD was turning 7 in 1970 and I wasn't even contemplated then! (im a 1984 baby)

the ends or do the crimper hold them?

Hi almond you will need some double sided tape too, you stick the ends together first before you crimp them.

My local Home and Bargains (Flint) still has the crimpers in for £2.99 - does anyone need them?

I dont have a homebase near me so would really appreciate this kind offer,i could pay you by pay pall if that suits.

Iloved jubilles and yep they really were a special treat.

It's okay marg and flourgirl, sammy-kaye has made me feel old now too:rotfl:
My daughter's only 3 years younger than she is.

I can remember that the cadbury's creme eggs used to be much bigger though. This is very evident when making the yellow knitted chicks. The older patterns are too big and I had to alter them.
Still it'll keep the waistline smaller I suppose. LOL
