I am afraid I don't have an easy way of doing it.I just use my pal Google.

I spent nearly 4 days on unidentified one and although I actually fou nd out what town it was in I could not find a photo to match.Took me 4 days but I got the photo or postcard.

Type the correct word into google and he will answer you.Type the wrong one and you are all over the place looking for the answer.

Like I said the curling one last night I thought would be hard and it was cracked straight away by typing the correct wording into google.Could have kicked myself not getting that one.

Anyone know an easier way just e-mail me.I could wait a while for an answer I suppose.

I've still got a few of the old silver threepenny bits around the house. I may even have a few of the old twelve sided ones too.

I have also still got my original first day's pay from when I joined up in 1947 consisting of four one shilling pieces. (We were paid in the recruiting office after attesting that we would serve the king and all his successors etc.) The youngsters of today may be interested to know that for a week's pay we got 28 shillings which equates to less than £1.50 in today's money.

Brumas and Macscouse were paid in groats and may still not have parted with them. They are even tighter than me.

Brumas won't mind, have a listen:-
