Rfv-sense: 1/32 of a pound sterling. Err, WTF? That makes 3.125 pence. , were you smoking something when you made this??? Notusbutthem (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * It's in OED, albeit with a single mention. Also it's obviously pre-decimal currency - 7.5 old pence (still a weird thing to want to keep track of, I admit). This, that and the other (talk) 02:27, 28 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Laughing at the idea that WF has not heard of pre-decimal currency. They only got rid of it about a decade before we wuz borned. Equinox ◑ 04:05, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I do remember pre-decimal £sd, 1/32 is certainly an odd way to divide £1, by my calculation 7½d (old pence). Compare that with 6d (sixpence), which was easily divisible, 40 sixpences to £1. In any case, I have never heard of a rumpty. DonnanZ (talk) 12:05, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

 * The OED does in fact have an entry for this; it’s marked “Stock market. Obsolete. rare.”, and the only quotation provides appears to be a glossary. — SGconlaw (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
