@laprice @TheBreadmonkey Yes. Here in the UK we also have Ilkeston, a town so culturally bereft that even the birds are sad.

Thousands of years ago, some malignant entity buried itself deep under what was to become Ilkeston, and has been sapping the joy from all above it ever since.

No-one in Ilkeston has ever smiled.

@ApostateEnglishman @laprice @TheBreadmonkey The main issue with Milton Keynes is every road claims to be a route out of the town only to mysteriously place you looking at a sign telling you the town centre is 2 miles ahead again.

There is a web around the town that that if you escape the inner circle seems determined to push you back towards the gravitational field at the centre.

It's an episode of The Twilight Zone as road planning.

@naturepunk @ApostateEnglishman @laprice @TheBreadmonkey I’ve been there a couple of times. My favourite bit is the, ahem, ‘Theatre District’, which contains one (1) theatre.

@naturepunk @ApostateEnglishman @laprice @TheBreadmonkey @PetraPhoenix I used to have a friend who lived in one of the villages that was swallowed up into MK.
Driving from the M1 to his house was one roundabout less then driving back.
To the same junction on the M1.
I never did work out where the extra roundabout inserted itself...
