    MONKEY HANGERS

    Monkey Hangers is an "affectionate" term for the inhabitants of Hartlepool, a Northern English coastal town, the name derives from an incident two centuries ago during the Napoleonic wars when a French vessel was shipwrecked on the towns coast, the only survivor was a monkey dressed in a mini uniform, not knowing what a Frenchman looked like the monkey was interrogated, the unfortunate beast was found guilty of being a spy and sentenced to death by hanging, hence the term Monkey Hangers.

    TRUE or FALSE ?


    smile


    And the answer is....


    TRUE!


    ...or at least the story is, there may be a mixture of truth and urban myth involved.

    The term 'free lunch' was a post civil war idea that came about as the rise of taverns became more and more prevalent in the US. The saloons would offer free lunch and heavily salt the food encouraging more beer drinking to quench the thirst. true or false.

    So come on then what is the answer?
    if it is true, quite a good idea, pub owners ...listen!
    if false, still a good idea to start with!

    The answer is true. It was a part of the saloon concept in America before prohibition. Busch was a factor in this idea. Anything to sell more beer!!!

    It certainly makes sense. Many bars still give out free salted peanuts and such, so there are still remnants of this old business strategy.
