Hmmm.<P>I AM speaking English.<P>It's London Cockney rhyming slang, actually. Thrupenny bits - threepenny bits - tits - as in boobies. You know, those things women put in their bras.<P>(and I thought all my male fans would have stared at Tess's bust anyway.)<P>Daniel<P>------------------

It's SO frickin' unfair. But SOMETHING's going on. Yes, siree... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So are sixpence a larger (size, not denomination) coin than thrupence, or smaller? In other words, is Tess complaining that the dress....er..oh, nevermind. :P<P>Queen Bee<P>P.S. Mab if you've ever got spare time I'd love to go vintage clothes shopping with you, I've never been but I've always wanted to. People say I'm "theatrical" and "melodramatic" so I could probably pull it off. You know where to find me... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">
