Years of minting of the 1787 and 1818 sixpence depicting George III.The sixpence, known colloquially as the tanner, or half-shilling, was a British pre-decimal coin, worth six (pre-1971) pence, or 1/40th of a pound sterling.In England, the first sixpences were struck in the reign of Edward VI in 1551 and continued until they were rendered obsolete by decimalisation in 1971. Along with the shilling (12 pence) and the florin (2 shillings), the last general issue sixpence was issued in 1967 and a special proof version struck for inclusion in the farewell proof set of 1970. However, sixpences continued to be legal tender at a value of 2½ new pence until 30 June 1980. The shilling and the florin (two shillings) continued to be legal tender until sizes were reduced in 1992.
An 1816, George III, sixpence.
1946 Sixpence depicting George VI.After the Great Recoinage of 1816, the mint coined each troy pound (weighing 5760 grains) of standard (0.925 fine) silver into 66 shillings, or its equivalent in other denominations. This effectively set the weight of the sixpence at 43.636 grains or 2.828 grams from 1816 until the last striking in 1970.The silver content followed the pattern of other silver coins. They were sterling silver until 1920, when they were reduced to 50 percent silver. The last 50-percent-silver sixpence was minted in 1946; they were changed to 79% copper, 20% zinc, 1% nickel also known as cupro-nickel from 1947 onwards.As the supply of silver threepence coins slowly disappeared, sixpences replaced them as the coins put into Christmas puddings; children would hope to be the lucky one to find the sixpence, no doubt also encouraging them to eat more pudding.They have also been seen as a lucky charm for brides. There is an old rhyme which goes \"Something old, something new / Something borrowed, something blue / And a sixpence for her (left) shoe.\"They are also used as a good luck charm by Royal Air Force Aircrew who have them sewn behind their wings or brevets, a custom dating back to the Second World War.In A Midsummer Night\'s Dream (Act 4, Scene 2), we learn that by his absence (ensorcelled in Titania\'s bower), Bottom the Weaver will forego sixpence a day for life from the Duke. In Elizabethan times, the sixpence was roughly a day\'s wage for rustic labour in the provinces. With it, one might buy two dinners, six performances of Hamlet among the groundlings at the Globe Theatre, or an unbound copy of the play itself.\"I\'ve Got Sixpence\" a traditional song, runs: I\'ve got sixpence. Jolly, jolly sixpence.
I\'ve got sixpence to last me all my life.
I\'ve got twopence to spend and twopence to lend
And twopence to send home to my wife.[1]An elaborated version was published in 1941, words and music by Elton Box & Desmond Cox.:[2] the singer tells the tale of spending twopence (per verse) until he has \"no-pence to send home to my wife - poor wife.\"Brian May, guitarist from the British band Queen, uses a sixpence instead of a normal plectrum to play his guitar.[3]Sixpence None the Richer (also known as Sixpence) is an American rock/pop band whose name was inspired by a passage from the book Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis.British coinage

Scouting (or the Scout Movement) has the stated aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups each for boys (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). It is one of several worldwide youth organizations.Scouting began in 1907 when Robert Baden-Powell, a lieutenant general in the British Army, held the first Scouting encampment on Brownsea Island in England. Baden-Powell wrote the principles of Scouting in Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), based on his earlier military books, with influence and support of Frederick Russell Burnham (Chief of Scouts in British Africa), Ernest Thompson Seton of the Woodcraft Indians, William Alexander Smith of the Boys\' Brigade, and his publisher Pearson.The movement employs the Scout method, a program of informal education with an emphasis on practical outdoor activities, including camping, woodcraft, aquatics, hiking, backpacking, and sports. Another widely recognized movement characteristic is the Scout uniform, by intent hiding all differences of social standing in a country and making for equality, with neckerchief and campaign hat or comparable headwear. Distinctive uniform insignia include the fleur-de-lis and the trefoil, as well as badges and other patches.In 2011, Scouting and Guiding together had over 41 million members worldwide. The two largest umbrella organizations are the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), for boys-only and co-educational organizations, and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), primarily for girls-only organizations but also accepting co-educational organizations. The year 2007 marked the centenary of Scouting world wide, and member organizations planned events to celebrate the occasion.
Scouting has been a facet of culture during most of the 20th century in many countries; numerous films and artwork focus on the subject.[101] It is especially prevalent in the United States, where Scouting is tied closely to the ideal of Americana. Movie critic Roger Ebert mentioned the scene in which the young Boy Scout, Indiana Jones, discovers the Cross of Coronado in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as \"when he discovers his life mission.\"[102]The works of painters Norman Rockwell, Pierre Joubert and Joseph Csatari and the 1966 film Follow Me, Boys! are prime examples of this idealized ethos. Scouting is often dealt with in a humorous manner, as in the 1989 film Troop Beverly Hills, the 2005 film Down and Derby, and the film Scout Camp and is often fictionalized so that the audience knows the topic is Scouting without any mention of Scouting by name. In 1980, Scottish singer and songwriter Gerry Rafferty recorded I was a Boy Scout as part of his Snakes and Ladders album.[103]The Boy Scouts of America are quite particular about how and when the Scout uniforms and insignia may be used in film and other portrayals, however, and for that reason, most films and television productions made in the U.S. utilize \"ersatz\" Scouting organizations. Examples of this include the \"Order of the Straight Arrow,\" portrayed in the King of the Hill cartoon series, and the \"Indian Guides\" depicted in the 1995 Chevy Chase film Man of the House. A notable exception to this policy, is the final scene of The Sopranos television show, where Tony Soprano (apparently about to be murdered) sits down to dinner in a restaurant. At another table, several Bear-rank Cub Scouts, in full uniform, are seated.

Port Vale Football Club is an English football club that plays in Football League One. They are based in Burslem, Staffordshire, one of six towns that make up the city of Stoke-on-Trent. The club\'s traditional rivals in the city are Stoke City, and games between the two clubs are known as the \"Potteries derby\". However, the last derby match took place on 10 February 2002 and with Stoke City in the Premier League, rivalry has increased between Port Vale and other local clubs, namely Burton Albion, Macclesfield Town, Shrewsbury Town, Walsall, Wrexham, and in particular Crewe Alexandra.
Port Vale is one of the few English league clubs not to be named after a city or town. The name Port Vale exists on maps pre–dating the formation of the club, which probably occurred in 1879,[3] and is a reference to a valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal, associated with the city\'s pottery industry. They have played more seasons in the second tier of English football (41) than any other club who have never reached the top tier. They were founder members of the original Second Division in 1892, and founder members of the Fourth Division in 1958. After playing at the Athletic Ground in Cobridge and The Old Recreation Ground in Hanley, the club returned to Burslem when Vale Park was opened in 1950. Outside the ground there is a statue to Roy Sproson, a man who played 842 competitive games for the club.
The club greatest success was in the 1950s, where they were FA Cup semi–finalists in 1954 and won two divisional titles with Freddie Steele\'s \"Iron Curtain\" defence and then Norman Low\'s more attacking style. Since then, John Rudge was manager from 1983 to 1999 and steered the club through more than a decade of success; under his leadership the club reached eighth in the second tier in the 1996–97 season and enjoyed cup glory and numerous promotion campaigns. Since his reign the club have declined, slipping into the fourth tier whilst entering administration in 2003 and 2012. The decline was reversed when new owner Paul Wildes arrived and manager Micky Adams led the club out of League Two in 2nd millenniumCenturies: 19th century – 20th century – 21st centuryDecades: 1870s 1880s 1890s – 1900s – 1910s 1920s 1930sYears: 1904 1905 1906 – 1907 – 1908 1909 19101907 by topic:SubjectArchaeology Architecture Art Aviation Awards Comics Film Literature (Poetry) Meteorology Music Rail transport Radio Science Sports TelevisionBy countryAustralia Canada China Ecuador France Germany Greece India Ireland Italy Japan Malaya Mexico New Zealand Norway Ottoman Syria Philippines Russia Singapore South Africa United Kingdom United StatesLeadersSovereign states State leaders Religious leaders LawBirth and death categoriesBirths DeathsEstablishments and disestablishments categoriesEstablishments DisestablishmentsWorks and introductions categoriesWorks Introductionsv t e1907 in other calendarsGregorian calendar 1907MCMVIIAb urbe condita 2660Armenian calendar 1356ԹՎ ՌՅԾԶAssyrian calendar 6657Bahá\'í calendar 63–64Bengali calendar 1314Berber calendar 2857British Regnal year 6 Edw. 7 – 7 Edw. 7Buddhist calendar 2451Burmese calendar 1269Byzantine calendar 7415–7416Chinese calendar to calendar 1623–1624Ethiopian calendar 1899–1900Hebrew calendar 5667–5668Hindu calendars - Vikram Samvat 1963–1964- Shaka Samvat 1829–1830- Kali Yuga 5008–5009Holocene calendar 11907Igbo calendar - Ǹrí Ìgbò 907–908Iranian calendar 1285–1286Islamic calendar 1324–1325Japanese calendar Meiji 40(明治40年)Juche calendar N/A (before 1912)Julian calendar Gregorian minus 13 daysKorean calendar 4240Minguo calendar 5 before ROC民前5年Thai solar calendar 2450This box: view talk editWikimedia Commons has media related to: 1907Year 1907 (MCMVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar and a common year starting on Monday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar.
