David,
Training shirt sounds much more likely than tea-parties and tees;
thanks.
But "P's and Q's" is definitely hypocorisma for "pleases and thank-
yous".
You are forgetting that there used to be shillings in between
pennies and quid (nobody says "quids"), and it would have taken a
lot of drinking to notch up pounds on the slate, at three farthings
a pint.
Best wishes, Bernie.
