@TheEastIndia Company (EIC) was an English, and later British, joint-stock company founded in 1600. It was formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region, initially with the East Indies (the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), and later with Qing China.
The company seized control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonized parts of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong after the First Opium War, and maintained trading posts and colonies in the Persian Gulf
The rest, as they say, is history.

I have been looking for a way into #Top20ColorSongs beyond just naming some songs with colours in that I like. There's no simple way of ordering colours with a start and end and I don't fancy delving into RGB values etc
But when I read @dreamfuel's snooker inspired twist an idea began forming. The @MonopolyUK board has 22 coloured squares, plus 4 stations and 2 utilities (which I will count as white as per their property cards).
So I will grab a pair of virtual dice shortly and see what colours the streets of London fancy throwing up.
I shall play as the ship as always, I will roll again if I land on the chests, parking, jail etc as I don't have access to an actual board. Playing standard UK version.
