Yes, Gary I first heard it from my teacher (when in Infants school) in 1946. Hardly heard it since. For those who don't know the original message was- Send reinforcements we're going to advance-When whispered via each class member it arrived back to the teacher as you say- Send three and fourpense-We're going to a dance etc. As you and Phil will know. Classic.
Thought I was the only one to use the ‘send three and fourpence’ line.
