[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2516976, member: 25851"] Just been going through some posts that didn't appear the last few times I've looked (don't know why that happens) where there is mention of Ponds and Ons. I was assuming that they were something like pounds and ounces in their relationship to each other but looking it up on google I see that there are 5 ons to the pond. Now I'm confused! In passing, I also noted that the Dutch used to have florins in their currency - just as we did in the UK but I can't see anything that tells me how much a florin was worth in relation to the guilder. One site indicated that it was the same thing. No wonder Europe decided to change to a decimal currency. UK too, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
