Plenty to do in MK, mate. Ski-ing, cinema, dining, clubbing - anything you want to do. And plenty of scoobie's around the area too!!

PeteBrant 17 September 2008 03:21 PM

It could be ace to live round there, in terms of things to do. But for driving through it is utterly soul destroying.

It goes like this...

Straight
Roundabout
Straight
Traffic Lights
Straight
Traffice Lights
Straight
Rounabout...

Repeat 526 times.

It is the most boring driving experience since the Sinclair C5 quarter mile time trials.

Cant you rearrange something else to do that week instead? ;)

Afraid not im on a course with vw

BURTON 17 September 2008 03:40 PM

Im not to worried about the driving im living in plymouth at the moment wich is a stone throw away from some of the best driving roads in the country

SC008Y_MAD 17 September 2008 03:44 PM

MK is alright. I live just outside of MK and its fine.

Lots of things to do in MK as said above.

Nat 17 September 2008 04:06 PM

Loads to do. Streets are all straight and you can't get lost :D

Stick to the shopping centre, snow dome, theatre district and business district (around Jurys inn hotel) for bars and food and you'll be ok.

Jamie 17 September 2008 05:47 PM

Lived in mk for 20 years loads of fun to be had!

Suresh 17 September 2008 08:43 PM

I spent a year near MK whilst I did my MBA at Cranfield and contrary to most of the above, struggle to find a good word to say about the place to be honest. :freak3:

I've got relatives that live in MK, been there quite a few times. I quite like it for a short break. Stayed at the Jurys for 3 nights in June whilst over for a family wedding, had a good time, restaurants we went to were good, and only 5 mins walk from the shopping centre. Oh and the concrete cows are on display right in the middle of the newer part of the shopping centre.

That's cruel, they should be allowed to graze! Who feeds them?

Think there's a Costa or Starbucks nearby, and a Waterstones for a good read:D

Jamie 17 September 2008 09:44 PM

Chunky that will be Sunset Walk or Midsummer Place across from Saxon gate near the church :D

Removed. 17 September 2008 11:15 PM

Midsummer place.

Milton Keynes - Have You 'Herd' the 'Moos' ?- Milton Keynes - MK

Also seen the dinosaurs, are they out Woughton way?

Jamie 18 September 2008 07:18 AM

Ah they are near willen lake at the eco park tyrannosaurus rex and his/her buddies :D

jonc 18 September 2008 07:46 AM

Expect loads of challenges/races from chav'd up Novas/Corsas/Saxos etc.....

Nat 18 September 2008 08:18 AM

There's an awesome adventure playground too :D

Removed. 18 September 2008 07:03 PM

Willen Lakes, that's it! Had Woughton on the brain, we stayed at the Parkside hotel earlier this year, by Ye Olde Swan.

Jamie 18 September 2008 08:32 PM

I use to have a house next to willen lake ;)

Luan Pra bang 18 September 2008 09:18 PM

Don't stay in city centre if you can help it. Stony stratford is much nicer and has decent pubs and places to eat not the ****e you get in the centre. There is plenty to do and scooby+roundabout+rain is great fun. Very safe for the car IMO
