I saw the Edgar Broughton band and Vinegar Joe at Bletchley-free concert. Can I get a lift back father? NO if you are man enough to go then find your own way back. So I did-I get in and a bollocking from my mother-What are you doing here??-your father is out looking for you.
Unhappy days

Re: Milton Keynes
I think they were building it about 1967, and although I still think of it as a 'new town', I suppose it must be about 50 years old already. It's not that far from me.I remember going there once, many years ago, but have no burning desire to go back as I'm not keen on large, impersonal towns like that.

Re: Milton Keynes
LOL, Bought my very first house in Milton Keynes when I first left the Women's Royal Air Force in the early 70sand married he who must obey. It was a new build and we watched excitedly as they built it. It was I remember in the Blakelands area, a small two bedroom house with a large back garden, no garden in the front and in a block of 4 houses. Right opposite was a beautiful little bridge over a stream leading into a lovely park.Wonderful walks.Behind the house was the huge Willen lake. it was really idyllic to return to after the 120-mile round trip to work in the centre of London, 5 days a week.Lived there for about 2 years, would probably have been longer if they hadn't built a huge block of flats right opposite our little four houses, blocking out all the view. Sold up and moved home to Shropshire.
Don't miss it at all though, sorry Milton Keynes.
