Well there we have it 4% inflation and the mpc knew about this last week so no raise on the horizon! Good for tracker mortgages very bad for savers. Think this next 3 years are going to be tough for savers as the band of englands remit has changed dramaticly. 4% is the new 2% :money:

I think your history teacher is wrong I am sure its 240 old pennies in the pound.;)

And also wrong because "D Day" was in 1971 and so in 1972 - the date to which I was referring, there were very definitely 100 pence to the pound.

It was that, plus my marriage, that seemed to curb my appetite for threepenny bits down the local 'club'.
