Which Monopoly Token Should Get The Chop (And Why)?

[Gromit]

The makers of Monopoly are to introduce a new metal token which means one of the existing ones will be discontinued.

Which token could uou do without:

Battleship
Boot 
Car 
Hat 
Iron
Scottie Dog 
Thimble 
Wheelbarrow

My choice would be the thimble. Hardly anyone repairs clothes these days when Tesco, Asda and Primark sell them so cheaply.

so what is the new one?

[Kromovaracun]

They're holding a vote on it, with a few different options.

shouldn't they replace the whole game with a new one called LeftyLiberalism where all your money is taken from you and given to illegal immigrants? New tokens could be the Burqa, the Council Home, the Wife-Beater etc

Anything other than the boot. I am always the boot otherwise I get the hump and won't play. Yes, I really am that mature.

Incidentally, has anybody ever actually finished a game? I haven't!

Before reading any of the answers, I immediately thought 'thimble' like some others.

And technically the battleship should go - because I'm pretty sure we don't actually have any battleships any more (citation required).

The eight replacements?

1. Computer mouse
2. TV remote control
3. Baseball cap
4. Smartphone
5. Aeroplane
6. Trainer
7. Pitbull
8. Microwave oven (for the ladies)



Of course, I'm kidding about number 8. That should remain the iron...for the ladies.

The boot's the second best (after the car). You can stick it on the end of your finger and pretend your finger's a leg whilst waiting your turn.

Shirley the Boot should get the Boot - See what i did there? Ok i'll get me coat.

[chrissa1]

I always liked the Boot and don't call me Shirley.

[jackthehat]

Not the hat.......!! :o(

Scottie Dog should go. The bloody jocks want independence so give them their dog back. Woof woof.
