Thank you -- I had missed the dash and not realised the p was short for per but knew it wasn't pence as it was d then!-- hence my confusion

Thanks Sparks and Maths Girl, interesting about the Pension, Old Age Pensions were bought in by Lloyd George 1909, didn't get much did they Linell.

In 1910, £0 3s 0d would have the same spending worth of today's £8.56.

I think that by adding it to the 'Census'
They were probably being sarcastic and
'making a point'
