Victorian pubs sold pints of gin and quarts of ale. When someone was orf dahn the rub-a-dub they would be told to “mind your Ps and Qs” However the original saying derived from P and Q looking similar when written in longhand.
Half a crown ? Pah, you're just a boy. I remember when a pint was three farthings and I got a clip tound the ear from a copper for writing Baldwin Must Go on the wall outside my house.
Yep, I was keen on the folk, folk/rock scene. Remember Dave well, RIP. Used to like Fairport, Martin Carthy Richard Thompson, June Tabor et al. Still dig some records out from time to time and have a folkie session.
