People from Hartlepool are called Monkey Hangers. During the Napoleonic war a French ship was wrecked off the coast and a monkey was found washed up on the beach. It was duly hung by the locals because they thought it was a Frenchman.

I can see where the confusion comes from.

The Vikings were the first outsiders to colonise North America. Long before Christopher Columbus discove_ed the ‘New World’.

Speaking of Christopher Columbus, he never actually set foot on Northern America. He actually discove_ed the West Indies and only set foot there.

And it's called the West Indies because he actually thought he'd discove_ed a new route to India. Not so clever after all.

Welsh slang for a microwave is popty ping. Because a pasty is called a popty and you put pasties in the microwave. Real name is Microdon (probably not spelt right) which always makes me laugh as makes me think of the mafia :D

Heard this a while ago.

There is a hotel in the US that sits over a state line. In one state it is leagle to engange in oral sex but in the neighbouring state it is illegal so guest are advised when booking rooms to request a certain side of the hotel if they intend to indulge oral sex.

People have apparently been arrested

for being on the wrong side and getting carried away allthough im not how they have proven it lol
