Underneath was a message to the effect that you should check the colour of your urine against the 'squares' on the chart, and if it tended towards the darker shades you were, to a greater or lesser degree, dehydrated. I often toyed with the idea of writing my own message saying that if you thought the oblongs on the chart were squares you should see an optician.Dave Williams of Hyde, Cheshirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224553157260839191.post-58377796303207698212011-05-15T11:45:19.049+01:002011-05-15T11:45:19.049+01:00Enjoyed the trip around the Monopoly board.

So the answer could be 4 or 40. I'm going for 4. I have so loved this series, as you must know by now, wandering around London keeps me enthralled.

Of these 40 playing spaces, 4 are squares one in each corner (Free Parking, Go to Jail, Go, and Just visiting). The other 36 playing spaces are rectangles. <br /><br />I am not sure whether you meant squares, or oblongs, but I think I have it covered.<br /><br />SUch a good concept for a series, Mo.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224553157260839191.post-35113306673777368722011-05-14T21:31:37.728+01:002011-05-14T21:31:37.728+01:00There are 4 squares on the board.
