Another question before I slip off to my scratcher...
Trinidad and Tobago are going to hold the record for the smallest (in population) country to compete in the World Cup Finals.
But which team currently holds the record?

Samoa have never been in the World Cup (football anyway).. and Ivory Coast has about 17,000,000 citizens.
Well done, UP. It is "Norn iron", who despite their paltry 1,500,000 citizens, have managed to qualify for quite a few World Cup finals, and reached the quarter-finals in 1958 (along with Wales and England).
Over to you!

Righto
back to board games. In the recent relaunch of monopoly the stations were replaced with airports but what replaced the utility (water/electric) companies?

AH. I've no idea.
But i'm going to hazard at some sort of industry, so I'll guess at an IT and a farming related industry.

there's no farming in London mate
but IT is close to one of them and both are related to communications.

One of them has changed to the BT tower, and the other is now The Sun for some unknown reason :P
Its actually quite good the new one.....park lane is now canary wharf, and mayfair is the city. All up to date!

Yes, I didn't really think that one through, did I?
Mind you, the Archers is recorded in London, and it's about farming...
Anyway, I seem to recall the BT tower being in there? And what about the London Stock Exchange ?

As well as Saudi Arabia... Italy - or has there been a change since the squad was announced?
