MoorgateRoyal Winchester Royal I'm delighted, but then again, Reading must seem like a cosmopolitan metropolis compared to their roundabout extravaganza of a city.
My old man knows someone who works in MK, and I'm pretty sure the office is on Sunset Boulevard.
Edit: It's called Silbury Boulevard. I think my point stands.
I used to go out with a girl from MK. There were a few places named "xxx Boulevard I think".
Also their grid system was interesting. Plus the naming of several roads "V1... V2..." (Vertical Road) and "H6... H7" (Horizontal Road)
There were a shit load of roundabouts too... absolutely ZERO atmosphere to the place. I always describe it as, you never feel like you're in the centre of the place. Like all the bars and clubs, restaurants are all on industrial parks, not in a high street. The only shops are part of a shopping centre.
I also believe crime in Milton Keynes is fairly high - at least that's my impression and what I got told by her and her family (who were from Bletchley)
