Try these

  1. 36lb of straw = 1 tr***
  2. 2 and a quarter inches of cloth = 1 n***
  3. 1 halfcrown = how many shillings and pence?
  4. How many grains = 1 pennyweight?
  5. How many quarts = a peck?

Hint with 2: don’t get the cloth caught on it … with 4: add a score.

    3. an easy one – 2s & 6d (not p)
    4.
    5. I think a peck is 2 gals, so 8 quarts

  2. Hi Andy,
    If only that were still true – just a chance while I was between jobs (fitting a new tap and trying to stop it leaking!). Great minds think alike eh/
    Cheers
