The day before the switch, the price of most beer was 3/- per pint.
The day of the switch, it was the equivalent price of 15p. The
day after it was 16p, a swingeing rise at the time, though it pales
into insignificance today.

My first decimal pint was 13p. What I can't remember is the pre-decimal
equivalent, probably 2/6.
