Google Maps shows Wolverton Road does to this day look like their intended plans! Old, but tidy.

It's good to have diversity in our town layouts, I wish we had more towns like Milton Keynes.

Really?!

Something is wrong with you.

[@Wildeheart79]

You want to get your head checked mate. I lived there 20 years. What started as an infinite suburbia has now become culture free stab city with good access to a McD's. Skip it and you'll be doing yourself a favour

[@wakeupcall432]

Milton Keynes is a horrible common purpose Marxist dive. A cultural cesspit with no soul

[@easternrailfreight]

Something is wrong in your brain please see a doctor asap

I lived there in 1974- 1975 i couldn't get away from it fast enough boring beyond belief, i worked for the MK development corporation it was a drag so class divided like going back to the nineteenth century.
