Anachronisms: In the film they constantly use the term "shillings" when referring to prices and money. Britain ditched the pounds, shilling and pence currency in February 1971 - and adopted the present pounds and pence decimal system. In the opening scene of the film the caption read "Salford, Manchester, 1971" and after the eldest brother ran away from his marriage a second caption, in more or less the second or third scene, then read "six months later" thus meaning that Britain had by then changed currency. As a result, when one of the brothers keeps begging his mum for ten shillings etc, it was factually incorrect.
