My mother Pamela Gaskins has often spoken of her days working at the sterling cinema. She was cashier there and has told me she could get a full house in within half-hour, the cheapest being 9 old pennies, the most expensive 3 shillings. Giving change and no automative calculators, quite a feat of mental agility.
