Cities, towns and villages in the UK have a chance of being represented in a new version of board game Monopoly.

Some 22 locations will be selected for inclusion, based on votes cast by the public on Monopoly's website.

Voters can visit www.monopoly.co.uk to select their chosen location.

Voting will end on 25 May and the new UK board will be revealed in October.

I'd love it if they actually made this version:

OMG that is SO frickin' funny.

One night Tmma and I looked all over the net to see if we could actually buy it. omG that would be so cool, hahhaha.

I keep tellin her to come in here (she spent like 20 odd years in the UK) but she never does

Yeah, I have NEVER seen her in here. I don't think we're scary or anything!

She came in the other night, mind you...

Maybe it is just the start.....we'll get her in our clutches, just you wait my pretty!

(I can remember playing the BRIT game with relatives on visits to India; I pencilled in some "corrections" from the American one--changing income tax from "Pay 200" to "Pay 10% or 200" and reducing the super-tax to 75.00; of course, I cheat on the method of calculating the 10%--and allow all other players to use the same "in the interest of fairness")

hilarious! printing that one out. I wonder how many people here will find it funny?

I love the 'caught shoplifting from the offy shelves...DO A RUNNER!'

actually, I love them all, lol

'own it all, like'

I actually live on a street that is on the Monopoly board not saying which one though hehehehe

LOL, that one was funny.

My mother-in-law is a bit working class (her kids aren't) and she ends every phrase with the word 'like.' She says 'You want to KNEAD the dough, like' and 'You want to turn the telly off before going to bed, like.' She also has a talent for stating the obvious.

Hah! That made me chuckle. A 'bit' working class, how does that work? But her kids aren't? Did she give them away at bingo to be raised by someone closer to the lower middle classes?? Even if you didn't mean it to sound snobby, it really did

It reminds me of a friend of mine who used to have a list for potential boyfriends, and depending on the number of things she could check off about them she graded them by class and flatly refused to go out with anything from 'lower middle class' and below. I can't remember the items on the list but I think I will email her and see if she still has it! Most of it was inane blurb like if they carried a handkerchief or if they owned a barbour (sp?)

Well they might as well be savages if they don't own a barbour

I love lisas gameboard, I vote for that!

OMG!!!!! I remember that night!!!
Remember the version of Monopoly we thought up? I STILL think that's a great idea, BTW!

Now who in here's got the Jaffa Cakes?

I bought you some, but I ate them


oh wait, those were HobNobs

I've never been a big fan of jaffa cakes but now I DON'T have them, me wants them

I've always thought they were over-rated. Gimme a nice choccy digestive anyday.

Was it the orange filling you didn't like?

(We used to be able to get them in Calgary--until they closed M&S
)

Dunno, the whole package really. I like chocolate, I like orange and I like spongey stuff...but put it all together and I'd rather eat something else!

I really like the orange ones, they did bring out lemon lime and raspberry too-which are not as good.
I love Mr Kiplings bakewell tarts too ( anyone know if you can still get those? Didn't see any when I was last there), and McVities chocolate digestive with a splodge of caramel in the middle-YUM!

Oh yes, you can still get Mr Kipling's Bakewell Tarts. My buddy in Wales sent me two boxes last month. *mouth waters* They were heaven in a little silver foil case.
