Another phrase known all over the world is the much-feared "
hotel on Mayfair". It comes as a great
surprise to many people all over the world that there's an American version of the
game, which doesn't use the familiar
London streets, and that in fact the one set in
Atlantic City is the original.
(And of course it's always rather a shock to Australians when they eventually get to London and find the streets aren't joined up like this in real life.)
These are the streets on a Monopoly board -- well, the only Monopoly boards I've ever seen. People might like to chip in with other versions.
