there is a place in NE england ( i can never remember wether its Darlington or Hartlepool) wher sometime in the late 1700's a french ship was wrecked off the coast , one survivor was washed up on the shore, a monkey in full French uniform. It was obviously the captains pet or something. the locals however having never seen a foreigner decided the monkey was a frenchman and hung it !!!! to this day other residents of the north east refer to Hartlepool people ( for i think it was they) as "monkey hangers". the locals do not seem too upset by this, the mascot for the local football team is called "H'angus the Monkey" !!!
