Milton Keynes to see a client's agent
It's more soul destroying in its bland depressingness than it is a shithole though.

Northampton for an arbitration.

Swindon for a site inspection.

And I used to let houses in seedley, the aptly named shortest bit of Salford.

Love the description of MK
My last employer had a head office and factory in MK, During the times I had to stay over I never found a pub with any atmosphere at all. In th eend we all used to take minibuses out to the surrounding villages in search of somewhere that didn't suck out your soul as soon as you walked in.

it's the most arm chewingly suburban place
Everything looks the same, as if someone made it in a giant factory and dumped it in straight lines.

I haven't been, but I bet welwyn garden city is the same.

Shudder. Bring on the personality, even if it does have high ceilings and dodgy wiring.

Welwyn is the same. *shudders*
I looked at a house once there. Couldn't run fast enough away.

Milton Keynes is like an ugly grey version of Stepford Wives.
