I hate it, but I do it too. Stupid search and everyone doing it.
19 shillings, 11 pence and 3 farthings.
My Grandparents retired just before Decimalisation and a lot of stuff was 19/11d
There was the other trick: Only 5 Guineas! Which was £5 and 5 shillings = £5.25
They had to bring in a law about the minimum percentage relative size of the decimal fraction on petrol signs. Maybe applies to lots of things now.
