Call people from Hartlepool monkey hangers, legend has it they thought a monkey was a French sailor so they hung him hence expression Monkey Hangers
Interesting. What else would one do with a French sailor even though it really was a monkey. I bet the monkey was a tad surprised.
Another long trip. Having had to travel from Chipping Barnet to Bournemouth, I know it can be a frustrating jouney, never mind from Lancashire. The M6 to either M5 or to M1 to M25 to M3...one long traffic jam!
