"I thought a monkey was £500 It Is but do u no where the saying originates from?"
Yes. In Laandon, the going rate for a pet Monkey was historically £500, so if somebody said
'I can't adam and eve it, I've fell down the apple and pears and ripped me whistle and flute'
'Don't worry, treacle, you can have this one for a monkey'
He'd know what they meant.
