Reminds me - I was living in Australia when it changed to decimal currency
(1/- = 10c), then again in New Zealand when we changed (same system), then
lastly in the UK when it changed (1/- = 5p). I had great difficulty
reprogramming myself for the last time - those dual values STILL look wrong.

Me too
I was living in Maida Vale in c1970,
I went over to see the rellies with a swag full of cash
thinking I was from the "lucky country".
Prices were crazy, and as for feeding thosed voracious
gas meters in the hall just to keep warm.
I returned home much chagrinned and with my wallet
between my legs.

Be glad you are not in Zimbabwe. In 1980, at independence,
67 Zim cents bought you US $1. Today, it is one thousand
million of those same Zim dollars to buy US $1.

I have been looking out at the auctions Blair,
I was recalling someone here had a price list.

I read your Zimbabwe comment,
I am not aware of your religious tendencies,
but if it contains any element of "re-birth"
be worried, very worried.

Interesting to hear you lived in Maida Vale. very posh!! I too was
living in London in 1970 and my recollection is that most of your
countrymen lived in Earls Court Road ( known locally as "Kangaroo
Valley") - I lived quite nearby - and certainly the local language
appeared to be " Strine". I had some quite fierce drinking sessions
with Aussies - mostly called Bruce!! ( along with associated groups of
New Zealanders and South Africans) in some of the pubs - give me a
break I was only 23 at the time !!

G'day Malcolm,
indeed they did we would visit them on occaisions.
"slumming it" we used to refer to it as.

It was a very tough time emotionally, it was my first return
to the land of my birth, and I was fiercly British.
What I found was a huge contrast to how I felt. Our
huge two story home in Yeovil, turned out to be a little
grotty red brick council house, I hated the food, and the
weather was dark at 4 in the afternoon.
I suddenly realised I was an Aussie.

I later made a career selling Real estate in Australia sometimes
4 times to the same buyers, who went through similar emotions
after emigrating / returning / emigrating again.
I have a very soft spot for displaced people now, I know
exactly what they are going through.
