In Northamptonian slang "hapence" or "apence" (dropped H") was a half a penny (pre-decimalisation old money) when
12 old pence = 1 shilling
A silver 3 pence coin was a "joey" and a sixpence was a "tanner"
Ah I remember "the good old days - when bacon was a shilling a loaf and beer was tuppence a hundredweight"

Me - Dad what did you get for Christmas when you were little? Dad - horse sh#t sandwich... same for me birthday but with sugar sprinkled on top. He grew up in Yorkshire and move to Devon at 18. Not sure where it comes from.
