There are also a lot of laws concerning the shooting of Welshmen and Scotsmen on certain days with a bow and arrow! For example, in Chester it's legal to shoot a Welshman inside the city walls after midnight

Did you know that in Scotland, it's illegal to be drunk whilst in possession of a cow?!

Values on the Monopoly gameboard are the same today as they were in 1935.


Even In 1935 Would £60 Pounds Not have Been Cheap For Old Kent Road?? (lol Maybee Not If My Street Was On A 2006 Revised Edition Monopoly Board, It Would Probly Be On For About £1.50) :)

Mate, only bow and arrow allowed where the hell did the 12 bore option come from?

Did you not read what it says?

Bow and Arrow? Bow and Arrow? Dang, missed that bit.

*Reluctantly ejects shells, oils double barrel and all moving parts, places device back in secure lockable cabinet. Grins evil smile, takes out aluminium framed power crossbow and a full quiver of steel tipped bolts.....*

Sir Robin of Loxleas was never like this :D

Come on then boyo, where are you Dai, come out, come out, wherever you are....

If they change the values I surely be in trouble since now I do not need the reading glasses as I know by heart all the values, if they do, I have to use my reading glasses, which will not longer be fun with kids :D

Mayfair is still £400? All stations £150? Rental value of Old Kent Road £2? It should be right, since have been playing this for donkeys years! :D

OOPS! How could I not remember dat one! You are absolutely right about that, its on all four sides of the board. :)

As for assault rifle, it a no no! Only bow and arrow are allowed, you and flops seem really worked up, what have the poor welshmen done?

It's a feudal thing, goes back to 1106.

Daffyd Jones and his kinsmen snuck over one night from Port Talbot and stole a flock of sheep from Bristol.

The issue was never resolved.

Honest Guv, would I lie to you? ;)

Have you ever read the Artemis Fowl books?! Now I'm not saying that I think you're a millionaire 16-year-old crime genius, but I worry that you know where to get cheap fire arms!:eek:

i have many many american friends in the missouri/kansas/oklahoma/arkansas area and its the middle of nowhere and its quite normal to own assault rifles to shoot out cans and milk cartons with.

2nd ammendment too - i think! the right to bear arms.
