You might be interested in this story from nearly 100 years ago. A boy used to take a weekly bucket of manure to a house in The Drive, Hove, for a penny.
One week, he called and asked for tuppence. Asked why, he replied, "Well, the 'andle of me shovel broke and it's all 'and-picked". I'm 92 and it still makes me laugh.
