The fare was threepence for the two of us but in addition to the accent problem (dialect almost), they asked for it as “two three-halfpennies, please.” The translation of that is: two fares (Margo and me) of three halfpennies each. Whether I would have understood it if he had said “a penny and a half” I don’t know, but “one thruppence” I surely would have understood.
