Well that depends, what about the monkey couldn't you give? ;)

You couldn't give a monkey's tail, because, well, it's the monkey's! Nor could you give monkeys' tails, because they belong to all the monkeys.

So, technically, given the full phrase it is "monkey's", ironically.

It gets complicated like Harrods should be called Harrod's
(assuming it was founded by Mr Harrod ).  Of course
people might say I'm talking a load of cobblers, but
as it's rhyming slang it should be  cobblers' , plural
and possessive.

Well it was originally Harrod & Co, then his son got involved, so it became Harrods. Interesting though, it's Sainsbury's after all.

I found 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss to be a good read on this subject. Just looking around now, I found a book with an interesting title, which would be moderated if written here: for those interested, the ISBN is 1849537577.

We should probably change the title of this topic, I keep getting caught out and expect actual reviews of rolling stock  ;D
