Not surprised. What was a penny worth in the 80s? My dad and Grandmother were English and they told me about doing it when they were kids in the 1910s and the 1930s.

It was definitely a penny when they were kids. That link said it started dying out by the mid-20th century. I thought people just went around asking for bonfire wood after that.
