Im in northampton which is just up the a5

MK is a pretty nice place overall. Prolly cos its so new. And as said above the centre kick-ass for shopping (and laughing at the security guards on their segways!) However, there are some very rough areas in the burbs of MK! Not as bad a wellingborough tho, proper dive! lol

see you mentioned hanslope earlier. that is a lovely little place.
