Unless it's a numeric field, in which case you'd want to use something 
like these (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle & MSAccess, exceptions as noted):

FLOOR(value) for the pounds (Int(value) in MSAccess) -- beware the use 
of FLOOR on negative values, though

value % 1 for the pence (MOD(value,1) in Oracle, value MOD 1 in MSAccess)

Avoid string processing if you can...
