You want to come to Milton Keynes - I`ve only lived here for 12 years and large parts of it WERE just fields.

I know, we have only been here 7 years , our house wasn't even built then, now we are almost surrounded by new developments, mind you despite having to cross 14 roundabouts to get to the M1 it still only takes about 5 minutes which proves the grid system works .As long as you dont mention the concrete cows or the crap football team weve been lumbered with Milton Keynes is still a great place to live (by the way Will did I see you driving along Danstead Way (V4) yesterday at about lunchtime if not we have a new 300 on the plot same colour as yours. By the way I'm switching on my christmas lights on Sunday night so if Milton keynes is hit by a power cut you know who to blame .We are up to 50 sets on the front of the house this year :oops: and people think we are sad for owning 300's .we've come a long way from living on day old road kill and sleeping 8 to a bed we even have real butter for tea now LOL Am i going off topic ??? sm6 sm6 sm6

It was probably my wife - she does a fair few miles around the city for work.

That said, I have seen a very similar one around the north of the city on occasion. Similar reg too.

Goes without saying that it`s nowhere near as nice as mine though :-)

There was a power cut down Bletchley way last week - was that you testing your christmas rig?

LoL probably was my Dad testing them.... he killed the Washing Machine with them the other day... he denies it but I think he overloaded the plug with lights and the shock took out the washing machine.

Anyway on my key ring is erm.. the Sonning Common Garages tag that was on it when I got the car... better get something else me thinks.
