Does everyone else in Britain have monkey's blood on their 99's, or is it just a North East thing?

Is that a horrible Murders In the Rue Morgue way of saying strawberry sauce?

Yes.

Is a cone called a "dismembered wooden leg hacked from the body of a sleeping old woman?"

I've just googled it, trying to find out where it originated but have drawn a blank. There is a theory it's to do with the incident in which a monkey was hanged in Hartlepool. During the Napoleonic Wars, a French ship was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, allegedly wearing a French uniform to provide amusement for the crew. 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 because they had seen neither a monkey nor a Frenchman before, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French spy. Being found guilty the animal was duly sentenced to death and hanged on the beach.

what the fuck

That's why people from Hartlepool are known as "Monkey Hangers." Their local football team even has a mascot called "H'Angus the Monkey."

And you people ran the world for over a century? God clearly threw up his hands and abandoned us centuries ago.

Ha! Maybe the Reformation was the last straw. You killed my kid then you fucked up the religion that grew up around him. Fuck this, I'm going to Betelgeuse.

Bet I could write a play about the incident that monsterises and caricatures the Northern working class and get rave reviews from the suede jacketed Guardian when it premieres at the National Theater with Cumberbatch or Hiddleston as the monkey. I'll tell people it's a metaphor for Brexit and double the liberal box office.

"In a way," answers Eddie Redmayne, zipping up his oversized Gorilla costume, "we're all the monkey, aren't we?"

Get Hugh Grant and you might have Hollywood interest. The Monkey That Invaded England.

[JennyB]

Well, thanks a lot. I'm now crying about a monkey. Granted, if it were a person, I couldn't care less. But damn, poor monkey.

James? It's Hughiebaby. Ya. LOVE the script! Just a quick thought, though. Instead of a magistrate in the early 19th century North, what if my character was an upper class aging playboy art dealer who just can't get it together. Until he meets the one lucky lady - Meg Ryan says she's very interested. The monkey could be... a French aquaintance's pet that I have to look after for a week and I learn a lot from! Oh yes, we could have a hilarious scene in a supermarket where an old woman think me and the monkey are gay for one another! Call me back.

It's okay, it was French.
