I can't believe he didn't mention that the sugar in the tea was planted and cultivated by slaves. Good series, though.

[TalkCreativePlanet]

I think Tony says in a differnt episode that the worst job series implys 'some choice' in what you did, although he also makes a point in saying slaves had it the worst out of anyone.

which is more a shilling or half a guinnie??

[TalkCreativePlanet]

I think a shilling is worth more although apparently that was less than a full guinnie which is a bit more than a pound (but of course):P Thankfully Australia ditched miles and pounds in favor of the metric system so I pay for everything in decimals and my car uses kilometers.

@Thermionic1 wow that is complicated!!!! thank you for the info as i have often wondered about this ratio

[Thermionic1]

12 pennies to a shilling. 20 shillings to a pound. A guinea was 21 shillings.

240 pennies to a pound... 252 pennies to a guinea.

Therefore, half a guinea would have been ten shillings sixpence...

this would have been written as 10/6 .

[Varangian1915]

why does every single job involve piss?

[planetofthescums]

@yiningsu Slavery is not a job.

[mohamedgna]

@XxHaveHopexX actually a guinea is worth more (nearly 20 shillings)

@Jcolinsol can t see the light and it s effect on the colour on a sketch , that maibe why you need the model,...

[weaselman24]

@XxHaveHopexX A guinea is 1 pound and 1 shilling. Therefore, Half a Guinea is worth more than 1 Shilling. (or so my research tells me... I too live in a metric world in Australia)

TCP - In Australia we spell it Kilometres :) RE not ER. ER is Yankee :)
