There was an interesting radio programme on BBC Radio 4 yesterday about the events leading up to decimalisation, and the impact it had on society. Well worth a listen:

Thanks for the link Harry - heard it live, one of the joys of internet radio is to be able to get Radio 4 and Radio 3 wherever I am!
