Bond Street, Park Lane and Euston Road are all incorrect. (Does Euston Road actually appear on the board?)

Drink port.

Guess (which may or may not be helpful): The answer is part of the same set as one of the previous guesses.

Oxford Street?

Not Oxford Street.

electric compnay

Trafalgar Square?

Not Electric Company or Trafalgar Square.

Leicester Square

Nope.

Marylebone Street Station?

Coventry Street (2 - Ipswich Town 1)

Kings Cross Station? (And I just remembered this.)

Not, Marleybone Street Station, Coventry Street or Kings Cross Station.

Clue: the answer is the only property from its set that has yet to be mentioned.

The Strand

Not Strand.

...and definitely not "The Strand"

After I have checked with my old Monopoly board, and repaired my computer.

Don't you do the Strand?

Is it the same as doing the Timewarp?

I do not live in Coppell, Texas. So what?

(There is little need of guessing. If you deduce why, you will know that you are correct.)

I always knew it.

Thanks for that KillerB. I've just learned an incredible amount of trivia I didn't want to know, about a Wiseman family, that looks a bit too happy and joyful to my liking. They've even been in the Netherlands. Yikes.

There are Wisemans in many towns - not particularly that one. So no.

That's religion for you.

You do not live in Coppell, Texas because you live in Paris, France.

Even if that guess was meant seriously, it is manifestly insufficient.

Julian, we are patently clueless. Could you remedy this situation please? You know, with a clue.

Whilst the "so what" applies to most of Coppell, it does not apply to all of it. Nor does it apply to anywhere else in the USA.

Coppell has a new Sprouts store - nobody else has, cares nor even knows what one is.

Coppell also has streetlight out and this is front-page news.

Coppell was the only American town named after a Manchester United playing Scouser but this is soon to be matched by Rooney, OH, a proposed new town near Akron.

Coppell is also intrinsic to seaside British humour with the punch-line of "Coppell oad a that".

You must wait for somebody else to guess between guesses, so I can only answer the first of those: no.

It relates to my move to Paris, close to Place des Fêtes.

Paris, je t'aime ... as quoted by Mr. Wiseman

Extra clue: my new address is in the XIXème arrondissement.

I have an answer but not sure if g-man's reply counts. It is an answer that I thought was even more 'so what' than the Sprouts store, which given the extra clues looks more and more likely, except the bit about the rest of America - don't get that bit.

heh I guess my answer was incorrect. You should be able to guess =)

Judge's ruling?

Let’s say that g-man did guess, and was wrong.

jdaw1 wrote:Whilst the "so what" applies to most of Coppell, it does not apply to all of it. Nor does it apply to anywhere else in the USA.

It really applies to nowhere else in the USA. If there are other countries containing a location to which it applies, I know not of them.

There might be one in Algeria, Brazil, Croatia, in the Přerov District in the Olomouc region of the Czech Republic, in or near Nurmes or Valtimo in Finland, in Baden-Württemberg in Germany, maybe in mid-southern Israel, in Iraq, not quite in Crete, maybe Lithuania, perhaps in Puebla in Mexico, maybe in Serbia, maybe Poland. Or maybe nowhere else though the countries in this list do have something relevant in common.

Entirely useless, you lot. There is a two-word British-English clue that would reveal the answer. I shall take the first letter of this and each subsequent post as a bonus guess of a letter in the two-word clue. That should get us there quickly.

That clue is now ‟???? ???E”.

OK, that clue is now ‟?O?? ?O?E”.

port hole?

Post code (zip code for Americans) is the clue. Jdaw lives in the 19th district of Paris. Part of Coppell is the 19th district in Texas. Or something else to do with the zip code 75019.

Yeah! My post code is 75019, which, when attempting to persuade Americans that I have moved, causes some of them, or some of their computers, to insist that I live in Coppell, Texas. Which I don’t.

DRT is up.

To the best of my knowledge my Grandparents produced 15 offspring. I have 23 first cousins, most of whom are older than I am and most of whom have children and grandchildren of there own. Around 70% of my direct relations are on my fathers side.

Excluding my father and I, how many decendents of my paternal grandfather share my surname?

All 15 offspring of your grandparents started out with your surname, but any women likely changed their names once married. Let's say 7 uncles. Of your 23 first cousins, roughly half were born to aunts, and roughly half of the remainder were women who likely changed their names once married. So let's say 6 more.

Those 6 male first cousins, most of whom have children and grandchildren of their own, likely account for 6 nephews. Once again the women are likely married. All of children of those 6 nephews are likely unmarried, however, and could account for an additional 12 Turnbulls.

7+6+6+12=31.

25?

42

20?
