Quote: David Bussell @ March 30 2009, 3:35 PM BSTI took a walk across that river and things were not pretty on the other side.
Belching smokestacks, unpainted buildings, abject poverty and, currently, murderous drug cartels who like to leave severed heads lying around in ice chests.
Cooooooooooooooool.

Are we still taking about Milton Keynes?
Milton Keynes happens to be rather clean and well painted, ack-tu-lee.

In many respects like friends, jobs, girlfriends, school, university - you hate them, then start missing them when they're gone.
Define your hometown in one word.

I know, its all right really. My father lives in Aspely Guise ( He's lived there for ten years and I still can't spell it)
Ha!
I sometimes have trouble spelling Aylesbury. And Marylebone. And... well, everything.

Well if he can spell Aspely Guise I would've thought 'it' wouldn't cause much of a problem.
Sorry, old gag done badly. 
Alderley Edge gets my vote.
Virtually nothing to do at night except visit very expensive bars. Every other car is worth >£50k with personalized plates, driven by either a GlaxoSmithKline exec or a professional footballer. They park where and how they want, then look down their noses at "ordinary" people. Perhaps they live in large properties in outlying areas but the bulk of Alderley Edge itself could benefit from an appointment with a bulldozer. It's a shithole.
Apologies to any BSGers who live at Alderl......nah, there can't be any.

I see what you mean about the cars...

I never quite adjusted to all the high-end cars in the Newport Beach area in Orange County. My son's friend valet parks cars at a local shopping mall and he's driven every supercar ever made.
Leigh (Greater Manchester). F**king horrible.
Milton Keynes is not bad at all, very good evening scene. Great place for a shag, but I did not say that.

That photo is strategically taken from the South-West end of the High St. The street becomes a bomb-site just after that shot.
In fact I think there should be a sign saying "Welcome to Alderley Edge - Twinned with Soweto"
