FINED... merely for visiting Grimsby!
That's the penalty being faced by the owners of Scottie dogs, top hats and racing cars... playing a regional version of Monopoly, of course.
Lincoln has passed go and is getting its very own official Monopoly board, and there are plans for a card to read: "You will be fined for visiting Grimsby!"
The ancient city, brimming and bursting with historic landmarks and tourist attractions, is getting the full boardgame treatment.
It was officially announced by Peter Griffin, development director at Winning Moves UK, the company producing the board under license from owners Hasbro. And the public are invited to vote for the 22 landmarks to fill the customised board, which will be out in October.
Mr Griffin said: "It won't be so much a case of what to put on as what to leave off. We are absolutely sure we will be spoilt for choice."
The board will see regional landmarks swap places with the famous Monopoly London streets, like Mayfair and Park Lane.
In addition, the four London train stations will be handed over to a Lincoln travel theme. And some of the Community Chest and Chance cards will be customised too, with one planned to say: "You will be fined for visiting Grimsby!"
The tongue-in-cheek reference, as well as the news about the new regional board, has prompted comments from Grimsby Telegraph readers.
Michelle Love, of Cleethorpes, said: "I love Monopoly – I still have my gran's old one with a fold-up board, cardboard dog, car and iron and wooden houses and hotels.
"We used to play every morning of the school summer holidays and try to keep the game going for the entire six weeks. There were a lot of IOUs!
"As for Grimsby, it would be great to have a game set in our area – we have a Kent Street after all... it's almost like Old Kent Road. But, on a positive note, we couldn't be sent to jail, sent directly to jail as we don't have one!"
And socks_uk recalled on www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk: "I once took part in a game of Monopoly on the M180 prior to it opening.
"I belonged to the 18plus group and groups all over the country were challenged to find the most unusual place to play the game. On a motorway lane must be one of the most unusual places."
Monopoly first hit shop shelves in the US in 1935 and is today played in 111 countries and enjoyed in 43 different languages.
