Don't be understating your win, archie, that was an impressive performance. I'm sure you earned your 'man of leisure' mantle with a lifetime of hard work, so both that and the win are thoroughly deserved, matey.You're clearly the man to beat in these quizzes, but it's bugger all to do with your status, you're just too bloody good! Hear, hear, Gazza. My trading was more swings and roundabouts than a one-way descent into financial meltdown. I ended up on the wrong end of three deals - significantly so in one instance (erm... cheers. Dudders) - broke even on another, and, with grateful thanks to Eppers, made a modest profit with my fifth and final throw of the dice, which also gave me a full set of the yellow properties. Mean Mr Sandy wouldn't let me build any houses or hotels, though...

Cheers, Sandy - an excellent game. I didn't realise how well I was doing in the quiz and given my trading I'm pleased with third. I lost £140 on my trades (as you may have gathered from the Limerick Lounge, it didn't go well!) I decided to quit while I was behind, but it was still good fun. It also led to the funniest PM conversation between Sandy and Shrops. If you could vote for PM thread of the year, that would get my vote. Well worth the £80 trade loss! Although looking back, I can't help but feel I would have got away with a win if it hadn't been for that pesky kid...

Afternoon everyone.
Due to popular demand (and with the help of some fellow Heaveners in filling in the blanks I had) I've been able to work out everyone's performance in the trading stakes from the last quiz:
1. Dudley +£80 2= Bradninch +£60 Gazza +£60 4. Shropshire +£50 5. Archie +£20 6. BBLW +/- £0 7. Hatter in Macc -£40 8. Market Harboruogh -£90 9. Epworth -£140
Just out of interest then, seeing as everyone is curious, if I hadn't forced the trading on you all, here's how the final table would have looked:
1. Epworth £1,060 2= Down Under £1,000 Hatter in Macc £1,000 4. Archie £940 5. Market Harborough £880
6. Bringbacklenwhite £860 7. Gazza £740 8. Bradninch £720 9. Dudley £680 10. Shropshire £640
Sorry Eppy!

Still, it's the luck of the draw on the cards - and as we all know, we can always trust a lawyer.
I'll take the moral victory, if not the trophy!
