At the markets today a man bought every sixpence I had on my stall. Mentioned that he gives them as a token to the bride at a wedding, as in the old rhyme.
Well, I had to look it up. I knew the four "somethings" but was unaware of the sixpence.
I think his idea is rather nice (but probably uncomfortable if you take it literally).

I haven't heard that one.
Maybe your just not old enough PP :blush2:

PP is a sweet young thing
When that saying was started I would imagine a silver sixpence would be the equivalent of half a weeks wages :angel:
