I used to know Hatfield on account of my ex-wife having rellies there. I guess that one of the benefits of the divorce was not having to go there any more. As for MK, been there a few times and it is a nice place to leave. It is uninspiring but in fairness, there are worse places in the UK.

Mansfield! Having been there I can understand why so many people there take drugs... :)

The good thing about MK is the roundabouts. On a motorbike it was like a GP circuit, I used to love it. As for the rest of it its wank.

That seems to sum up the general consensus of opinion around here... :lol:

But guys, are you all forgetting Xscape!?!?

Indoor snowboarding/skiing, and a decent guitar shop in there as well.

As gay as it sounds, there is a funny laser shooty type thing they do there, its great. I slid from the top to the bottom on my arse! with a phone in that pocket which ceased operation rather quickly

:D the music shop in MK is Sound Control there OK if they have the stock in otherwise there utter sh*t. I had a guitar stand on order for 6 months and every time i went in there they would tell me it was only 2 weeks away !

In the end they had to reimburse me. Total waste of F***ing time. Most of there products are aimed at the bottom end so they can compete with the internet shops & Ebay. Just don't believe it when they tell you it`ll take 2 weeks when ordering.

As for MK it gets a lot of bad press but there's an awful lot of people living there and house prices are very stable and theres plenty of work. Mind you its all poverty pay work but were isnt ?

Not all of these peole can be wrong can they ? Don't believe the negative hype go see for yourself and keep your expectations realistic.

:D 8)

Can't comment much on MK, but Luton is a hole

.

It's not that there is anything much wrong with it as such, it's just so bland. Which makes it even worse, it sucks the life out of you and eats you up till your just an empty shell.

The best thing for me about luton, I get to get out of here in 6weeks

:lol:

Indeed, Luton is awful, especially traffic, atleast with Mk and the roundabouts its ok. I am just across the border from you then I guess, in the Holy land (well, Buckinghamshire :P )
