Milton Keynes is a classic 'New Town' built to accommodate a rising population with little thought to such minor things as 'entertainment' or even 'fun'. Houses look the same and roads are all straight, and, of course, there's no history as everything was built at the same time. Oddly enough, people seem to love the place. Perhaps they rave about it just to preserve their house values, but I really think many people are happy with a simple ordered life. Milton Keynes has that in spades. For anyone with a little imagination the place must be a nightmare. I blame Le Courbusier. Trader Woody PS- Worst town in Britain? Luton get's my vote.
