This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Wait wait wait
That's equating a shilling to five pence, but I thought pre-decimal shillings were twelve pence

Now I'm well confused

20 shillings to the pound
12 pennies to the shilling.

1 shilling is 5 new pence
