I've looked into this on the web and some people call them pink and some purple, but I think it's mostly pink. I've got a book on Monopoly that calls them crimson.
On the board I play with, "pink" is not the first colour that comes to mind for the Pall Mall/Whitehall/Northumberland Avenue set - "purple" is. At best, it's a sort of "dark shocking pink". Quote:
But whatever you call them, if you know the Monopoly board you could still work out the right answer, because it's the Water Works in the yellows and it's a Community Chest in the greens.
For the avoidance of doubt they should probably have asked what group the Water Works was in [...] Or use a different question, such as "which utility square is next to Pall Mall [on a standard UK Monopoly board?" |

On the subject of Monopoly, I once set a quiz with a friend of mine for a posh do.
We got free food, top nosh, and got paid as well. ![]() We decided to put a Monopoly question in. Basically we just gave them an A4 sheet of a blank Monopoly board, and told them to fill in as many squares as they could in the right place. My friend had printed the sheets off and he had listed all the properties and the other squares at the bottom of the sheet. I said, "Take that bit off, it'll make it too easy if you give them all the properties." "No, we need to keep that in, make it a bit easier for them." So we did. Now I'm a bit of a Monopoly anorak, starting at Go I can reel off the whole board from memory. So I thought giving them the answers would be too easy. How wrong I was. The question was answered terribly. We had about six teams and the top score was about five. Half of them couldn't even place Free Parking and Jail in the right place, never mind know whether Oxford Street comes before or after Regent Street. At the end, they said, "Great quiz - except for that Monopoly question.."

Poor Hannah. Getting some stick from the bullies on Twitter, including Ant and Dic. And a starring spot in the Mail. I thought that the object of this game was to win money. She won money. Good luck to her.
She probably hadn't even started university, most people's general knowledge isn't great at that age. I suppose she knew what she signed up for e.t.c e.t.c. |

It's Paul.
Matthew seems to be a decent player. |

That Lisbon answer looked like a deliberate error by Paul, doing his best to let Maggie through.

When I saw today's team it occurred to me that the last to play is young and therefore probably a weaker player.
Two things: 1) Am I being ageist? 2) Do they usually put a (likely) weaker player last so they can be tempted with a minus offer and keep discussion and controversy among viewers going? |

Very impressive by Paul, unlucky team as poorer ones have gone home with the money.

Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan is turning out to be a very poor Chaser indeed judging by her win/lose ratio.

An extra step in the final can (and does) make a difference in winning or losing. |

That Hannah seems to be taking a lot of crap from people, she played the game and came out with £2666 so she can't be that stupid!

Watching old episodes of The Chase on Challenge, I notice a significant difference between earlier episodes and current ones. Namely, in earlier episodes, Bradley would speed up when the Chaser was chasing a high total and now he doesn't and the questions come at a steady rate.

Has Bradley got a bad cold?
His voice sounds different and his eyes look all red and watery |

It's Anne today.
Brad is struggling with his voice. |
