    Yes, you're right - it's our equivalent to your '5 n dimes'. I wonder did they have a specific way of referring to it here?

    Well done Dazza, great presentation. In Britain the Woolies slogan for many years was simply "nothing over sixpence".

    Thank Johnny, I did wonder whether we had an equivalent saying? "nothing over sixpence" - was there a problem with this? I can imagine over the years with inflation - either your stock would suffer: offering less for the same 6d, or you'd have change your phase: "nothing over a shilling"?

    Thanks for the info. much appreciated.
