Mornin'
Cor blimey Guvn’r! Would you Adam and Eve it? Another quiz already? Better take a butcher’s hook then init!
No, I’ve not had a stroke, I’m trying to be Cocker-knee arn’ I? That’s because this quiz is all about our nation’s capital – Lahndan Tahn.
And what better way to enjoy ‘the big smoke’ than with a nice little game of monopoly?!
Here’s how it works. Over the next 4 weeks I’ll give you clues to a player who currently plays for a London team – one clue/guess per day. Once you get it right, you’ll be allocated a property from a standard UK edition of the original monopoly. The sooner you get it right, the better the property:
Monday – Green (Regent St, Oxford St, Bond St) or Dark Blue (Mayfair, Park Lane)
Tuesday – Red (The Strand, Fleet St, Trafalgar Square) or Yellow (Leicester Square, Coventry St or Piccadilly)
Wednesday – Station (Kings Cross, Marylebone, Fenchurch Street, Liverpool Street) or Orange (Bow St, Marlborough St, or Vine St)
Thursday – Purple (Pall Mall, Whitehall, Northumberland Ave.) or Utility (Water Works, Electric Co.)
Friday – Brown (Old Kent Rd, Whitechapel) or Light Blue (Angel Islington, Euston Rd, Pentonville Rd)
Moreover, the sooner you get it right in the day the better, as I will be allocating the properties in order of value on a first come, first served, basis. So, for example, if 3 people get it right on Monday, the first to have contacted me will get Mayfair, the next Park Lane, and the third Bond Street... and so on.
For the first week, all the properties are available to everyone. In subsequent weeks, you cannot get the same property twice so, if you happen to guess the team on the same day as the week before, you will be allocated a different property from the remaining ones in that group (again in order of value depending on how quickly you contact me).
This means that, whilst two people can’t have the same property in the same week – someone might get the same property as you the week after!
Quite simply, whoever has the most valuable portfolio of properties by the end of Week 4 wins!
As always though, there’s a twist! After week 1, when everyone should have at least one property, I’ll reveal who is playing and you can offer to trade with another player. All you need to do is PM myself and the person you would like to trade with (don’t reveal what property/ies you have!). If they accept the trade, a swap of properties will take place. However, you do not get to choose which of your properties gets swapped if you have more than 1 – I’ll be selecting one from each of you at random! More importantly, I’m not going to reveal what day everyone got the answers right, so you won’t know what standard of properties they have! Do you take the risk of giving up a property and getting something less valuable?! Or might you ditch your Old Kent Road for Mayfair?!
For those who cannot access PM’s, send me an e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk and I’ll contact the other player on your behalf before reporting back whether they will trade or not.
Everyone is allowed to make only 3 trades over the 4 weeks, so choose your opponent wisely!
As ever, all answers via PM or e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk please.
Everyone ready to Go and avoid Jail? Good!
