There's this new tool I've found, it's like this searchy thingy that queries an internet. You should try it sometime, its marvellous.
carpet - three pounds (£3) or three hundred pounds (£300), or sometimes thirty pounds (£30). This has confusing and convoluted origins, from as early as the late 1800s: It seems originally to have been a slang term for a three month prison sentence, based on the following: that 'carpet bag' was cockney rhyming slang for a 'drag', which was generally used to describe a three month sentence; also that in the prison workshops it supposedly took ninety days to produce a certain regulation-size piece of carpet; and there is also a belief that prisoners used to be awarded the luxury of a piece of carpet for their cell after three year's incarceration. The term has since the early 1900s been used by bookmakers and horse-racing, where carpet refers to odds of three-to-one, and in car dealing, where it refers to an amount of £300.

I'm disappointed. I thought you'd found an actual monkey. As in:
Now that would be fun
Edited to add - how much does the above cost? Would £500.00 cover it?
I doubt you'd get the above but would a smaller capuchin monkey be an acceptable alternative?Now that would be fun
Edited to add - how much does the above cost? Would £500.00 cover it?

No chance - 3k+ for a chimp. You need a dangerous animals licence to keep one in the UK too. Now that would be fun
