Guess the price of a tortoise in 1903?
 

Have a guess. I read it in a book from then but just interested what people think the price would've been and how they would've talked about the tortoise as a pet.I will reveal the answer in a few days time.
PS: Be as silly as you want to be:smile:

I will start the ball rolling and say half a shilling:D

I,m thinking about two and six 2/6 about twelve pence now:lol::lol:

am going to say about £8 :)

Between 1-6p?

I remember my nan (now 76) saying back in her days you could buy them for as little as 2p

I'll guess a thruppenny bit. I can recall them selling for £5 when I was little. How I begged for one back then! The answer was a resounding no, which is why I appreciate my little lovelies so much now. :)

Between 1p and 5p.

Are you going to tell us all the answer now?:-D

I'll go for 2p, or whatever the equivalent was back then : )
