Good point, I didn't think about the budget. LOL Leighton buzzard / Tring area is very nice.

I'm getting married at the Abbey next year.

Great Billing is a nice little place too. Dead handy for Wellingborough, but perhaps a tad far for Luton.

Newport Pagnell is not bad either, and probably convenient for both.

I have relatives in Bletchley, and if they're any indication of the sort of people living in that area I'd steer well clear.......

Great news with the job, well done

I live in towcester just down the road from MK (i saw "clive" here at the bodyshop once)

I really like MK i grew up over that way, i honestly dont understand how people get lost there its a grid system and simple once you have been a few times.

The shopping center is good, all my best nights out have been in MK and the cruise is pretty sick aswell blood

Luton from MK is piss easy and quick and you can use the A5 if you dont want to get fucked over by the M1 everyday but they have widened it at luton which has made it much better.

The council estates in MK are wank holes but there are alot of nice parts which people seem to forget about

There is a rumor that street drifting took off there.

and almost everytime I go there in my S14 I need a new set of tyres by the time i'm going home.

I live 10mons quick drive from mk.. Nice place, and got alot going for it. Does have its bad parts though like all towns. Stay clear of fishmead..

I drive to Luton everyday as that's where I get the train into London from..

Few places to consider.. Studam, kensworth, dunstable, caddington, whipsnade, bletchly and leighton buzzard. All within a small commute to Luton. Personally i'd go for dunstable as that's where all he top people live

Great place to live, Great for shopping, great for nightlife with the Hub, which has just been built, which has some very nice wine bars and restaurants.
There are a number of Mcdonalds also.
The Oceana Club has just had 2million spent on it and is totally awesome in there now, Nandos, Ski Dome, Threatre, Cinema, Jet Ski lake etc etc.....
There is loads to do and see in MK it really is a booming town with massive development underway.
Who is your friend in towcester by the way....he he he.
