Bad blood between them almost before the shuffle's been shuffled

Reshuffled ministers tussle over occupancy of country house Chevening

Reports suggest Dominic Raab does not want to hand the home over to his successor as foreign secretary

A row has broken out at the top of Boris Johnson’s reshuffled cabinet over who should have access to the elegant Chevening country house in Kent.

The 17th-century manor is traditionally used as the country retreat for the foreign secretary, in a similar way to the prime minister’s Chequers getaway in Buckinghamshire.

But reports suggest that outgoing foreign secretary Dominic Raab is refusing to hand it over to his successor Liz Truss, arguing that his new title of deputy prime minister entitles him to hold on to it.

I would support a duel (automatic assault rifles?) on the expansive front lawns of Chevening between the two claimants.

With their various supporters standing behind them.

And, what with us all going back to cubits, pounds, groats, and grains, it seems only appropriate.

Are we getting shillings back? Can Sasaferrato explain to us young-uns how they work?

I reckon they'll go the whole hog, and reintroduce guineas and half-crowns.

Five p to one shilling.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Five p to one shilling.

But simultaneously 2 sixpences to the shilling.

 

[Sasaferrato]

But simultaneously 2 sixpences to the shilling.

Or twelve pennies, or three groats, or 48 farthings.

They'll be issuing pardons to Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile at this rate. "Victims of a woke witchhunt"

Er....thanks for clearing that up!

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

And as they say about thrupennies, not many of them to the pound.

Well, 80...

I wish they'd bring back silver thrupences they were sweet. As were farthings with the little jenny wren

 

[Sasaferrato]

Just realised that I haven't answered the question in the OP.

No.

No.

Well Mrs Q does, she reckons it's good that Gormless Gavin has gone (though she didn't dislike him the way she did Gove) She's not optimistic that Zahawi will be an improvement though.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Er....thanks for clearing that up!

Not forgetting four threepences.

And 24 half pennies.

Now, going way back, there was a coin that was a third of a farthing (I have one), so 144 of them to a shilling.

Of course, the quarter farthing (want, but too dear) is 192 to the shilling.

Just imagine that, 192 coins to make 5p.

Yes, he was utterly appalling, to me he had the look of a 'tights in the gearbox' car salesman.
