It had an OG of 1080 so must have retailed for at least 10d per pint.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-64709950790558257012017-09-14T02:27:39.878-07:002017-09-14T02:27:39.878-07:00Hi Ron,

Where's my time machine? It's not quite "drunk for a penny, dead drunk for twopence" but it's not far off (Bank of England again: Hogarth's 1d and 2d from 1751 equate to 85p and £1.70 now).Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.com
