I meant £30 max for 4 wheeled vehicles but forgot to point that out. I do agree on the press thing though. It's funny how they whip any story up into a frenzy, finger point at everyone but rarely print much about the whole mobile voice messages scandal which was obviously a tactic used by most of the press.
Here's a good idea - how about getting Katie, duke63 and XxAnthxX to run the country ? They seem to be making more sense than anyone I've seen in the press recently !
You do need to remember that I'm from Hartlepool, where the first elected mayor was voted in..... Mr Stuart Drummond or as we knew him H'Angus the Monkey Hartlepool FC's mascot.
Oh yeah..... I forgot to mention.......We Hung a Monkey According to local folklore, An incident in which a monkey was hanged in Hartlepool. During the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (allegedly)-(presumably to provide amusement for those on board the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, and many locals were unaware of what a Frenchman may look like, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French spy. Just to make sure, the animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland. Anth
Anth WTF you for real? Your ancestors did not see a difference between monkey and French man? English are surprising.
I'm not sure who should be most offended by that, a Hartlepudlian or the French man that could look like a monkey. :wink: It's not like it was me dad or owt that done the little hairy, gibberish speaking primate in! Now if he'd been Italian.....it could be an easy mistake to make. Anth
Did it not turn out that the whole Monkey Hanger thing was just a complete fabrication that you guys keep perpetuating to stop us southerners coming up there?
Nah the boring version is it was actually what was called a powder monkey, they were small French men or boys who used to load gun powder into the cannons allegedly. But that's a rubbish story and yeah the other keeps the the riff raff away! :wink:
