Incidentally, it's entirely off-topic, but is Milton Keynes as horrid as
it sounds?
Milton Keynes is a lot nicer than people who don't know the place claim
it is. It is by far the most pleasant and most successful of the
postwar "New Towns", and is characterised by a combination of excellent
landscaping and some very good modern architecture.
My only significant criticism of the town (it is a city in all but name)
is that it was designed around the car, so public transport provision
could be better.
My only significant criticism is that the place is covered in crabapples.
Covered! Inches deep!
At least it was when i was there.
An entire city covered in crabapples to a depth of several inches?
To be fair, the only bits i visited were canal towpaths.
So not statistically significant ...
Seems unlikely. Were you sober? ;-)
It is my policy to make no comment on this.
