Updated version: "Granny Gets Thrown In Prison For Misgendering A 19-Stone Troon On Instagram" PIF (2024)

I still have nightmares about them decimals - such a confusing system. Don’t think I’ll ever get the hang of it. Still, I’m on UA-cam mind

I like the sound of LSD shops @10:09

10:09 "And there will be LSD shops charging LSD prices and giving old money in the change." 💀

the second d day holy fuck

Certainly were some interesting times in Great Britain concerning their currency, eh? 💷

Is that a young Beverly Callard running the boutique?

It’s hard to believe that British society has changed so much since then , like a memory of a different country.

Lovely!

£10 10s 10p converts more accurately to £10.54166666666666666666..... (and so on). Assuming you're not rounding down, it's not "two whole digits less" its an infinite amount of digits more.

I remember my grandma had a card that showed the old money when you looked at it at one angle then new pence when you looked at it a different way. I just remember that she told me sixpence is 2 1/2 new p since she used to give me sixpence when we visited.... Sixpence seemed more money though.

This is brilliant! Thanks for uploading.

Glyn Houston playing the father.

24:36 this guy's face made me burst out laughing lmao

My country never used LSD.

Looks like the woman in the clothes shop is on lsd

17:10 wait, people didn’t use dots to separate the old money?! Mind blown.

That granny's attitude was typical of older people at that time - still clinging on to their attitude of empire and that Britain was the best. The rest of the world had mostly adapted to decimal long before the British. Much simplier system.

..... gallons to litres was the biggest rip off. I was four when the decimal currency came in, we were out in Germany at the time.... so my first experience with money was the Deutschmark and Pfennigs

13:48 It’s all money? Well it’s £89.55

My parents ran a post office at the time. I remember my Mum saying it would’ve been a nightmare going the other way! She was right in her prediction of mental arithmetic becoming poorer.

15:54 You're an old lady! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This video helped me understand the old money I hear referenced in old TV shows. Thanks!

I'm just glad that grandma didn't hurt herself or anyone else.

I was 10 in 1971 . I remember being taught about decimalisation 2 years before in 1969 ,The school had a card with the new money on it to show us kids what was coming

As an American whose knowledge of English money prior to adulthood was from older movies and shows, this video was amazing in understanding the old and new money. I'm so used to decimal and couldn't wrap my head around it.

£sd worked fine when used in mercantile transactions. 12 pence to the shilling, how much by the dozen (pencils)? 20 shillings to the pound, how much by the ton (coal)? A guinea was 21s, £1+5% (tipping). There were plenty of handy conversion short-cut across all the various measures, I was taught them until I was 15 and 'got the point' :D

I don't really remember actually using the old money, though I was 9 on D Day. We had a shop set up at school to practise using the new money, but I don't recall ever having a problem with it. A 9 year old easily addapts though I would think. I loved getting the new shiny coins, and I still love new shiny coins to this day.

At ~7.20 that kid must be dumb or too young if he thinks when buying tea, 8.5 old pence (not even a full shilling) is equal to 8 new pence (1 and three 5ths of a shilling or roughly 19.2 old pence). No wonder the granny/parents were panicking, thats over 100% inflation lol.

Seems like a very upper middle class family to be living in a tower block? Also Sandra is old now haha

They all sound too posh to be living in a high rise council flat.

I was 10 when this happened, and looking back it was really just a good opportunity for ripping off the British public, nothing new there then

I worked on an ice cream van 12yrs old got the job so I could explain the change to customers mostly older ones, sold cigarettes as well😂

Thank you for posting this full version. I’ve only ever seen the short clip before.

Amazing, she lives in a brutalist tower block but accept decimal currency. Hopefully she passed before gangs of Beresfords and Alis turned the blocks into crime factories or were demolished in 2010s.

Oh my goodness, how BORING! How can 100 pennies in a pound be so hard to compute?!

And today you can go around Poundland trying to find the items that are still a £.

That was fun with all the stereotypes. The format of the cheque looked a bit strange with no "p" on the end. I'm still looking for the Scaffold track in which the lyrics go "One pound is one hundred new pennies. One hundred new pennies makes a pound." over and over again.

good job, gran, now give me some sugar

Mrs Butler

Inflation helped it along. In the old days a few shillings would buy most personal bits, and we seldom counted higher than that

Probably could've avoided confusion by calling New Pennies, something else,.

They all talk rather posh considering they live in a tower block!

2:35 I'm betting that it's where Scarfolk used this scene for that TV hijack clip of theirs.

Nobody today in the UK under the age of 60 would liiely have any idea how the old money worked.

Grandma is why we have Brexit.

"I shall write to the queen". Omg, HM was there quite a long time.

Are these the flats on the led zep 1v album

The old lady in the film was quite right. A lot of people didn’t want D - Day to come and their voices were ignored. The Government of the dayntotally ignored the fact that in changing currency this amounted to a constitutional issue and therefore a referendum should have been called

I would love to know by what authority did the Government have by introducing “ New Money “. Let’s be honest changing your countries currency is a “ Constitutional matter “ and should not have been taken lightly. Instead there should have been a referendum to see what the public was on this issue and if they wanted to change their money
