Only 8 minutes! No calculators, then; a slide-rule, perhaps? Your 12.5 p will be credited to your account by the Post-Brexit Taxation Department.

My 3x great aunt Sib (short for Sibyl) had a hat.  I wonder if her siblings wore hatlings.
 ;D ;D ;D 

And another wild thought - if only one of my ancestors had been mechanically inclined our mediaeval forebears might have ridden around on halfpenny-hatlings.
Please help me to help you by citing sources for information.

"hatling" - Welsh, noun, female
meaning = mite; half farthing; modest contribution; all that a poor person can afford"

The earliest mention I spotted was 1531 and the latest 1803 - need to backtrack and check.

William Morgan's 1588 translation of the Bible refers to "ddwy hatling" ("two mites" - Luke, Chapter 21, verse 2).

"Mites" were biblical - Mark mentions 2 mites = 1 quadrans.
