CityVille: Increase your payouts by placing UK items next to each other

In order to encourage the development of "Little Britains" in CityVille, Zynga has decided to increase the amount of bonus payouts you receive from your UK themed items (you know, those items like the Loch Nessie or Sheepherder that were released over the past few weeks), but there's a catch: you need to be level 25 to access this bonus, and you must place these UK-themed items next to each other in the same small area.

Unfortunately, items like the Loch Nessie and Sheepherder (along with plenty of other UK-themed items) are no longer available in the game's store. This is an odd choice then, as it seems as though the increase in payouts has come way too late. Shouldn't the CityVille game team have increased the bonus when the items were still available in the store to encourage users to purchase them? Either way, keep this bonus in mind if you did choose to go on a small shopping spree while these items were available. Why not earn as many bonus points as possible if they're offered, right?

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of bonus boosts for like-themed items. Perhaps the new Tiki items will be given boosts as well? I know that would make my thought of splurging on some of them a lot more convincing, and I doubt I'm the only one. We'll keep an eye on things, and will let you know how things develop over the next few days and weeks.

Did you instinctively place your UK items in the same small area, or are you going to reorganize your town now that this bonus is available? Sound off in the comments.
