Geordie? Dunno Oooop North somewhere. and a French monkey.

Monkey hanger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the Napoleonic wars, a French ship was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (presumably to provide amusement for those onboard the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, and many locals were unaware of what a Frenchman may look like, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French spy. Just to make sure, the animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland.

In 2002, Stuart Drummond campaigned for the office of Mayor of Hartlepool in the costume of H'Angus the Monkey and narrowly won; he used the election slogan "free bananas for schoolchildren", a promise he was unable to keep. He has since been re-elected twice.

Don't leave us in suspense.... who did you go with?

i used the jackline link provided earlier in this thread and the final underwriter is osprey. our cost is $2800/yr which isn't cheap, but seems reasonable.

Full coverage? Yeah I'd say that's pretty good.
