we need your help

Please help our campaign and forward this as an email to everyone in your address book.


A new version of Monopoly is going to be released shortly and the locations on the board are being decided via a vote. The top 22 places will go on the board.

You can either vote for an existing city or suggest a wild card . Please suggest putting Consett County Durham on the next Monopoly board.

If you want to vote too, just go to www.monopoly.co.uk and choose the option for a wildcard in the voting section and enter the name Consett , County Durham

Consett is a small town and being on the Monopoly board would help boost our local economy we realy need help to get in the voting so please vote today even if you have never heard of this town. You can vote once a day so please vote as many times as you can up till 25th May 2007
Thank you

My faith in the British public is officially gone

Stoke on Trent no1?! Oh come on!... but then being on the Monopoly Board may mean they actually have something going for them

Re: we need your help

Muffworthy, Devon.

Is Consett to be the "Jail" square?

Re: we need your help

Is it the whole town or
Medomsley Road, , Consett
where the crisps come from!

Can we have the four pubs (one on each corner) around Griffin Park (Brentford) as the replacements for the 4 stations?

What are the brown rings in the field to the right of the factory? Are they where Phileas Fogg's balloon crash landed - several times by the look of things.

I'm only cruising GC because CSI (french version) has been replaced by Sarkozy and Royale (in their big pre-presidential debate) and the MU / ACM game is on Canal+ which I don't have, so Im following it on the internet.

Exclamation Re: we need your help

Hi,

I voted for Manchester, simply because it's a damn good city to live in, and Birmingham's a bit too tatty in my opinion to warrant being labelled as Britain's "Second Capital"!

However, the leader at the moment, is somewhere called BaronVille. I can only presume this is a made-up name, unless anyone can prove otherwise for me?

Or maybe we should all vote for a new place called the AVForums as the "place to be seen"! That would be quite cool, especially then as we could have our most hated AV company as the "Jail" place!
