We call 'it' hape-ney as in 'Halfpenny' it was a song beleive it or not where I come from a long time ago, a mother telling her daughter 'keep yer hand on yer hape-ney, cover it well with yer palm, keep yer hand on yer hape-ney and molly will come to no harm.' Very wise words me think's..... slopes off before anyone realises she from up north.....
Ah, I speak from direct experience :-)
'hape-ney' isn't a northern word ... the only haitch we say is on the front of the letter!

Must admit, my relloclection is of a song in a Cockney accent with the Hs dropped.
So do I! :=)) (though not my 'appennies obviously.)
Since this is a diy ng, where do you keep your 'and?
One on my sonic screwdriver, and one firmly in my pocket.
Hmm. When I were a lass that was known as pocket billiards ...
... of course I'm frightfully respectable fifty years later!

Reminds me....
Three Universities got grants to study why the penis has a knob on the end. The Italians concluded it was to give the man pleasure while the French concluded it was to give the woman pleasure. Researchers from England reckoned it was to stop your hand slipping off!
