hartlepool is in england not scotland.

hangus the monkey is rooted in hartlepool's history:

during the napoleanic wars, a ship wrecked off the hartlepool coast & the ship's pet chimpanzee in military dress was discovered by local fishermen. the fishermen thought the chimp was a french spy & ended up hanging him.

brilliant stuff, huh!?!

cheers,
tiki chris
