Where in the world

We see a living room full of detectives one has headphones on and a reel to reel recording machine

There is a man sitting nervously by a telephone

The phone rings and the man snatches up the receiver

MAN

"Is that you Helen? Thank god, I paid every penny they demanded."

DETECTIVE

"Ask her if the kidnappers are still there"

MAN

" No they're not, she said they've gone! She's been freed but she has no idea where she is?"

DETECTIVE

"Tell her to look around for landmarks or distinguishing features"

MAN

"She said that there's lots of buildings but nothing that is even remotely distinguished looking or even memorable"

The detective gets on his radio

DETECTIVE

"She's been freed, looks like they dumped her in Milton Keynes!"

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it

Lost me on that one Shan

I'm using my powerful detective brain to hazard a guess that she may live there

That was my my initial thought but going on the data available in her profile she lives in Ireland and even if she did live there it is only a joke and not a very harsh one.
That said if I have offended Shan I would be the first to apologise as she's not a bad sort at all.

Let's just say I'm 'acquainted' with the oft misunderstood MK....course no offence Teddy, and I'm sure the concrete cows won't take it personally

Nice sketch there actually, as always it's your zippy dialogue that stands out and I'm enjoying your renewed vigour round Critique.

Thank you kindly ma'm.

Nice one

reminds me of the old joke

what do you get if you cross Milton Keynes with a bike

Mugged..... probably !!

no offence intended

Very good Teddy, that can also apply to most places in Wales

Thanks for the feedback folks.

I would like to suggest that this piece semi reflects my dismay at the homogeneous nature of our high streets which now uniformly looks like anywhere in the developed world juxtaposed with the lack of architectural insight that either conforms to a commercial Neo- Liberalistic commercial functionality or goes beyond innovation into the type of ridicule that is created by impracticability.

But I would be lying, I just thought of somewhere bland, Wales is not bland it is a beautiful principality ,it's inhabitants however are another matter.

Nice one Teddy but you have obviously never been to Banwen it is very bland only one street and no shops.
