Pesky seafront monkeys

Back in the 70's, the seafront in Hastings was inundated with photographers with monkeys.

Before you knew it, they would force the monkey on you and take a photo, expecting to be paid for the photogragh.

They dressed the monkeys up in little jumpers to make them look cute.

I'm sure this would have been regarded as cruel even back then.

Did you ever suffer these pesky monkeys on a trip to the seaside?

Never got to go to the seaside much as a kid so never really experienced the monkey bit but would have enjoyed it even if mum and dad did not [Big grin.png]
