Oswald-opoly
 

I was bought one of those make-your-own-monopoly kits for my birthday. Basically you get the board and labels and using the templates you make the stickers and property cards for the streets/stations and utility squares. So I've decided to make Oswald-opoly, using the various landmarks around Ossy.

Obviously Park Lane and Fielding Lane should be where Park Lane and Mayfair are. In place of the four stations I might have Jubilee Gardens, Foxhill Bank Nature Reserve, the station and Oswaldtwistle Mills.

Any other suggestions?

Go straight to the Town Hall, to pay fine for late payment of council tax. Do not pass Citizens Advice, do not collect £200.:D

How about using the churches? St. Paul's, Rhyddings Methodist, Melbourne Street Institute, St. Mary's.

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

What instead of stations? Good idea, after all people sit in both for hours wishing they could get out and carry on with their life.

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

The speed camera could be instead of "Income Tax".

:D

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

I hope you never invite Peter Britcliffe round for an evening of board games and nibbles. He might have something to say about Fielding Lane, and not New Lane, being Mayfair.:D

Pity Slinks doesn't live around there, she could have:-

I was thinking that the "free parking" was for the travellers.

See you're skating on thin Ice, More accusations about 'racism' will be coming your way!:D

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Don't know what you mean. is there a caravan with the game?

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Can't remember many of the streets Gayle as absolutely refuse to play this game.

Oxford Street has gotta' be Union Road as only there are there some shops.

Guess the Pedestrian crossing ouside Co-op has to be 'Go'

My jail would be behind Ossy Mills, where I am holed up most days at work.:(

Rhyddings Park would make a good station too.

Bond Street/Regent Street/Whitechapel .. not a clue.

Community Chest: Guess this has got to be Garinda, always willing to lend it out to people in trouble (no sarcasm Neil, meant this kindly :rolleyes: )

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Aww thanks Kate x.

What could the counters be, instead of the dog, boot, iron etc.?

How about a shuttle from a loom, and a blackpudding?

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

...and a clog instead of the boot, and a whippet instead of a terrier.

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

A caravan.

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Now this is a proper game of Monopoly!


It must be worth a day out, but who can we fool into driving us down?

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

What about the Lamp...you know, the Gobbinland Lamp...or am I not allowed to use that term on this politically correct world that we live in?

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

You want something instead of the utility companies. Although one could be united utilities. You could have the other whatever your local cable tv company is if you have one. bit awkward as ossy is small .
I still havent done mine for down here but I havent got a decent printer yet. I did have but it was stolen.

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

White chapel lane could be White Ash Lane.................:D

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Shed Street could be Old Kent Road.

Re: Oswald-opoly

Re: Oswald-opoly

Re: Oswald-opoly

Re: Oswald-opoly

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Sos Panther.. yes, going towards Black Dog, guess is opposite Francos :confused: .. gosh how unobservant are we sometimes when it is around us every day. :rolleyes:

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Should ossy mills not be like the equivalent to the water works or the electricity place? its our famous 'works' is it not?! i think stockleys should deserve its place on the board aswell

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Shed St is opposite the taxi office near the Bay Horse:)

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

The Coke Ovens could be "Jail".

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

Dear Bee - so much digging up of old threads will give you the reputation of Burke and Hare

Re: Oswald-opoly
 

...they'll probably not even add the Hare bit.

:rolleyes:

Re: Oswald-opoly
