Pub Trivia - AKA things that may be beyond the scope of Moorey’s knowledge

I know Ape Hangers are handlebars. Is this a limey version?

Nope. It fits in with our Ye olde naval theme from earlier

edit: although it is a British term

 

[fatboyonabike]

flag pole?

Alrighty. Might have been a bit esoteric for you although it is quite a famous tale.

A Monkey Hanger is the nickname for any person from the city of Hartlepool in the North East of England

Legend has it that during the Napoleonic Wars, a French vessel ran aground near the town. The crew scarpered leaving only the ship's mascot - a monkey that happened to be decked out in a cute miniature uniform. Now the locals of Hartlepool having never seen neither a Frenchman nor a monkey before automatically assumed the poor primate was a French spy and arrested him, put him on trial and sentenced him to death by hanging.

Wow...that is a good story. I see there is a zong. It would make for a good film and a lot of tears in the audience.

Must be something a long way from the ocean. Could it be Moscow?

Helsinki.
Only because I don’t know the capital of Siberia. It gets chilly there I believe.

Might be exposing my geography ignorance….but isn’t Siberia a region, so won’t have a capital? Flame suit on…

Helsinki..Nope
And Siberia is part of Mother Russia, not a separate country...have cleared that up in the original question too, thanx (don't want to upset POSM or Moorebags)
^^^^^^TOO SLOW!^^^^^
