1. What are mokey hangers? 2. Why is this is in General Charlton?
1.) "Monkey hanger" is a term by which Hartlepudlians are often known.[1]
According to local folklore, the term originates from an incident in which a monkey was hanged in Hartlepool, England. 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, 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.[2] Being found guilty the animal was duly sentenced to death and hanged on the beach
2.) have no idea a bit odd if we hold off we will be playing them in a few years when they come up to our league in the conference.
