I'll Never Tell... Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I always look forward to Collectormanias, and quite like the shopping centre location. But every time I get to MK my heart sinks. It really is the most dismall place i have ever been. It's like walking into a huge Weatherspoons pub, atmosphereless and inhabited by inbreds wearing orange Ben Sherman shirts. If people reading this are from MK, apologies, but really, get out.

Karistiona Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 It's really not as bad as everyone says, it's nice enough, it's green, it has loads of stuff to do and the people we've met there seem really nice, there are FAAAAR worse places to be!

Moderators DavidB Posted October 9, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2005 There's nothing wrong with MK! Â Good transport facilities, a huge shopping centre, Xscape is a pretty unique thing to have, good sporting support, lots of entertainment venues and nightlife. Â There's pretty much everything there! Yes it's a bit concrete and there's one too many roundabouts but who cares! Â Plenty to do, and a lot of nice people live there, so no need to insult them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll Never Tell... Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Davey lives in MK and, if you look at the info by his post, it states he lives in the 'concrete jungle'. I rest my case. I shouldnt have been so rude though. Please feel free to insult Whitstable and Canterbury now... ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Definatly not. I love visiting Milton Keynes  I love it so much, that I may not even go to Collectormania if it were held elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel_Of_Music Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Milton Keynes is cool. Altho, ive only been to the shopping centre, havent looked around the rest of the town. But the centre is awesome compared to my local shopping centre. But yeh, like diamonddog said, its your opinion. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like walking into a huge Weatherspoons pub, atmosphereless and inhabited by inbreds wearing orange Ben Sherman shirts. 880508[/snapback] As dismal urban crapholes go, I think that MK is quite overrated; it's nowhere near as duff as its reputation - I can think of any number of towns in this country that are repugnant festering pustules. Compared to them, the blandness of MK is quite welcome. I haven't spent much time in Canterbury in the last few years, but it always struck me as a potentially very nice town that had suffered greater indignities at the hands of its (post WWII) town planners than from anything that the Luftwaffe had done. As for Whitstable, doesn't that make you responsible for Tracey Emin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'll Never Tell... Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 As for Whitstable, doesn't that make you responsible for Tracey Emin? 880701[/snapback] Â Â No, because she's from Margate, another craphole. It does, however make me 'responsible' for Peter Cushing. Â You've got to admit, a little bit of a rant can be much more exciting than the usual guest suggestions, who did you meet? threads...
