Could someone please ask Mr Lineacre how 240p to the pound is simpler to
understand than 100p to the pound; or how 12p to the shilling is easier to
understand than 5p to the shilling; or indeed, how 120p making up 0.5 of
£1:00 is simpler to understand than 50p making up 0.5 of £1:00??
Regards
Steve.
