Loved this, Terry! What an ingenious idea to use Monopoly to illustrate the distribution of wealth and income - gosh, that must've been a fascinating lesson. Bet it brought a great deal to those students - bravo! I'm not surprised that the board found itself airborne, though - I hope you managed to find all the pieces afterwards.

'Famous wordsmith in hospital drama' - YES!

I absolutely love your letter to the editor of 'Petticoat' - a publication I hadn't heard of, actually. You come across as having been a very thoughtful young man - a label for which you still qualify.

I'm already looking forward to penning my reply to you next week - you've given me plenty of ammunition - sorry, I mean 'subjects to respond to'.

I am looking forward to the Tabloidese version of your story. Though how you can top that last one is beyond me! Fun wake-up reading this morning - as usual. Thank you, Terry,

I aim to please. I have written the next one in my head. Hopefully I will manage to get it out for Sunday! The story i mean, not my head. Glad you enjoyed it, Sharron.

A very realistic version of Monopoly. It would certainly help people to better understand the other ‘classes’ of society.

😃 I agree, Beth. I think it would be hard to do with a full-sized class. 😂

Thanks, Drew. I identify as a 25 year-old. Wochoo gonna do about it? I know my rights. Dictator: if you ARE a windbag, you feel that the world would benefit from your musings, and you like writing things with incredibly boring titles and overblown prose, definitely! Those are the reasons that I would make a great dictator: I've got all the qualifications. Chortle.
