Jessie The Jeep Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 On the way to the MVT meeting in Hartlepool on Tuesday night, myself and Jason noticed the 'Welcome to Seaton Carew' sign by the railway bridge had been altered ( obviously prompted by recent headline news ). I went back after the meeting to take a picture, but someone ( the police perhaps ) had removed the change! Shame!!!!!!! It was too funny to leave the opportunity, so I took a picture anyway and altered the sign to make it look like it did when first seen - see attached Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Here Jessie, want a monkey? Don't think so. Its chances of survival near Hartlepool are very slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEnfield Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 :dunno: What's this all about??? If your refering to the Monkey refferences, Its a piece of hartlepool folklaw,...could well be true, or not. :whistle: During the napolionic wars, its said that a monkey was washed ashore, in that town. It was supposidly dressed in french seamans kit, and was assumed, because it didn't understand laungage, when spoken to, to be a french spy. On this basis, it was tried, found guilty and hung. It was reported in the papers of the time, so the probability of some truth, is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I spent a bit of time in Hartlepool as a lad and have great affection for the place. My dad sort of kidnapped me and left me with family friends there - I used to get a freshly dug raw carrot as a treat every day - which was brilliant to me because I'd never seen them except in tins or on a greengrocer shelf. It's a long story, but it was there I discovered model kits. Honesty was also alive and well in those days because I left my watch in a restaurant and the owners found my address in London and sent it back. Didn't a recent mayoral candidate win because he dressed as the famous monkey - which is a true story. If I'm :offtopic: I don't care. Nostalgia is what it used to be.....

Great War truck Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Didn't a recent mayoral candidate win because he dressed as the famous monkey - which is a true story. Thats right. He won under the name "Hangust" - true. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
