How much is a "score"?

COnsidering the price of £20 is a darn sight cheaper than new shocks for your car and a £5 for a hoover out id just pay him to take them or ebay them free to collector.

Thanks for this. Obviously I meant 'threescore years and ten'.

The Bible comes into it because it is the way that many people learned their language. The King James Bible, and the Book of Common Prayer, were the way many children first connected with English literature. Words that are still in common use were first written by William Tyndale, who was burnt at the stake for translating the Bible, and that was back in 1530.

Regrets for my mistake!

a score is used to measure years...20 years. It was in a famous Lincoln speech in the US
