Ah yes! Is this my first ever full Bob episode? I can't remember, but I believe so! What a great group of people! They should have these 4 on all the time... or just like a full season of them. That would be great!

There was once a half farthing, which was 1/8th of a penny, during Queen Victoria's reign I think. Farthing was still around until the 1960s

Hahahhah! Not only is it bizarre! But why did a teacher have it for grown students? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Ooh, extra extra info: Before decimalisation, the notation for pence was d, not p. And most people don't know why. Well it's the same reason that the pound sign is not a P with two lines through it, as monetary tradition should dictate. Rather, it's a cursive L with two lines through it. It's because we got our use of currency, along with many other things, from the Romans. L was for Libra, meaning "pound", D for "Denarius", a small Roman coin, in fact, even the notation for Shilling, S, did not stand for Shilling, but the Roman coin "Solidus". Some might have heard the term "Librae, Solidae, Denari", meaning pounds, shillings and pence. There was even a tiny Roman coin called an "Obulus", that gave the abbreviation "ob" to Halfpennies. And the abbreviation "qua", for farthings, came from the Latin "quandrans", meaning a quarter of a penny. Interesting right? Right? Where'd you go? ๐ค

Jeeehz! Was it common for kids to lose digits? Here in Argy fireworks are legal and get popular for Christmas and New Years where everyone can by them. December 24th, 25th, 31st and Jan 1 are the burn wards most busy nights ๐ฌ

Yeessss!!! They were positioned perfectly as well! So darn good! Also Steve watch it! From start to finish it is an amazing show!! ๐๐ปโจ๏ธ

Hahahhaa! Oh right, that actually ringed a bell. Still funnier this way, bit yhank you for explaining Tony ๐ค๐งก๐ป

Aye, that is why I stopped watching compliations in general, now I am all or bust ๐คช๐คฃ

Hahahhaa! I don't even know what he meant by that quote ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Mandy Cane Lane
Hahahhahahaha! Half a penny sounds ludacris nowadays ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Yes JB, but don't worry, she was just referencing the water that wasn't in the bath, or any bath for that matter. It's a bit complicated and scientific but before water is introduced to a bath, it must first not be in a bath, hence the ' bathless water'. So, in order for John to take a waterless bath there must somewhere be ' bathless water', the water that would have been in the bath had it not been a waterless one. While not relevant specifically to this scenario, it might be worth noting that 'bathless water' could also contextually refer to any body of water without a bath in it, but only if it was intended to have a bath in it to begin with. Hope that helps. Any further questions can be forwarded.
Mandy Cane Lane
Hahahaha! I have not seen that, thank you for sharing! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Did anyone else notice mandy say bathless water at 21 mins๐คฃ๐คฃ

Great episode with some awesome humour from the panellists. I did think that last one was true. I imagined it would be and that we'd be getting a demonstration of it. I think it wouldn't be too hard to do that though. As for the 'Lick or Strike'.... well come on!! YouTube had to implement this instead of Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down. Haha!! Aaaah Standard fireworks. I remember those. I wonder what Bob's parent made of their little son burning their house down!! Jeez. Great video Mandy.
Josh Read
All above board I'm sure ๐
Stuart
Standard fireworks were in every corner shop around bonfire night when I was a kid so the other panelists must have heard about them before. Had lots of fun playing with them and the cheap bangers you could buy, lucky I still have all my fingers!

Thanks for the extra info Tony, I'm very lazy lol. You are right ยฃ1.96 wouldn't even get you a packet of sparklers (or sprinklers, as an American living in Argentina reacting mainly to British comedy would say) these days.

I was born in 1979. Not old enough to have used pre-decimal, but can confirm Steve, you are correct about most of this. The pound used to contain 240 pence. A shilling was a twentieth of that, or 12 pence. The "2" in "2 and 6" referred to shillings, and the "6" to pennies, so "2 and 6" being 2 shillings and 6 pence was 2ยฝ shillings or 30 old pence. After decimalisation, the shilling still meant a twentieth of a pound, but since the pound now contained 100 pence, or 100 new pence, as they used to say, it was now worth 5 pence, and the "6" half of that, or 2.5 pence, for 12.5p in total. And old folk say it was simpler back then!! The new half penny was introduced at this time, and still valid currency until 1984. I still have some somewhere. If Bob did this in 1966, when he was 7, according to the Bank of England's inflation calculator, 12.5p would be worth ยฃ1.96 now. You're not getting a box of fireworks, of any standard, for that now!
Tony Mingoia
Hiya Mandy! A boring point, but maybe an interesting one, I think I've said this before; "Standard" used to mean more like "the Yardstick", or "the standard against which all others must be measured". Essentially, it suggested a HIGH standard, whereas modern commercial language has pitted it against "deluxe" or "premium", and degraded "standard" to mean more like "basic", or LOW standard. David must know that. He's an educated man who used to read the dictionary professionally if I remember correctly. He's playing along with the joke here I think. โบ๏ธ

That's the problem with compilations. And most aren't edited very well. Lots of out of context bits, the other peoples stories edited out of the this is my, not revealing the answers etc etc. They are fine as a refresher for people who have seen them, but not first time watchers

Fantastic reaction Mandy. This episode has one of my all time favourite Bob quotes "Red and ginger, devil's finger"๐คฃ love it. Also, it's Bob, repeat it as many times as you want. As always, thank you Squeaks.๐ค๐ค

I think we are of similar age ๐คฃ

I am not a very old man. I'm probably of a similar age, if not younger, than you. I was born in the 1980s.
๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐
2 and 6 was 2 shillings and 6 pence, which was 12ยฝp in old UK money before 1971. It was worth more in real terms. Think about 2 shillings and 6 pence as ยฃ1.50 to get an idea of how much it was worth, I think๐ค. It was before my time, ask Jeffrey.๐คฃ๐คฃ

Hi Mandy, after watching today's video on YouTube I wanted to share this. I'm sure you will have seen it. It's got to be up there with the worst attempt at an accent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEpHswmkisQ
