I went on a hot air balloon ride over my fair city on Friday, this is what it looks like from the sky in November:

Concrete city my arse

Looks like Runcorn. Not good.

[PestiRed]

Where's the city centre?

[Remmie]

Looks like Runcorn. Not good.

Where do you live?

[Remmie]

Where's the centre?

On the top and bottom picture look at the horizon in the top right there is the Xscape which is in the centre

[VladimirIlyich]

Where do you live?

Runcorn,and its a shit hole.

[stringvest]

C'Mon, look at the facts:-

 

1. Remmie (trying to argue this point is not good, I mean I can fucking dare you but it's generally not good);

2. Lord FlashHeart;

3. Me.

 

If that's not good enough then FUCK YOU.

 

FUCK YOU!!!!

That is so far from cutting the mustard it's embarrassing.

[magicrat]

I went to Milton Keynes once,  Once as in not wishing to return.

[Remmie]

I've never been to Runcorn but I reckon it looks nothing like MK

 

[Remmie]

Our city centre:

 

 

There can't be many greener cities in the country

[Trumo]

It all really boils down to one thing in the end - is it swaps or swapsies?

Milton Keynes isn't a city...

 

Delusions of grandeur from a large town in Buckinghamshire.

Posh Skem but without a lovely tribute album. 

 

 

A lot of that will work for Milton Keynes as well though.

Being a city is a quite strange concept in this country, you bid for the status and for some reason it supposed to be important. Liverpool wasn't a city until 1880 and beat Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Hull and Leeds to this strange elevated status.

 

Officially we aren't a city but everyone here calls it one, something to do with the Queen visiting it and Cathedrals or something equally tedious though even if we were a city I'm not sure what's to be gained.

Sorry Rem but when you have to pull out facts like that you've already lost. 

 

Its like when my Missus tells me historically the cowardly French have  won more wars then they've lost. 

[Fugitive]

It looks like the aftermath of somebody shitting out of a hot air balloon.

What's so great about being a city though? Why is it elevated status?

[cloggypop]

Why does everyone in MK claim it to be one?

[setreal]

You don't have to be a city to be a city. But it is a city.

I'm not arsed either way, just odd if everyone refers to it as a city when it isn't when there's nothing to be gained.

 

Also in response to the above comparison with Runcorn?  Where's the MK bridge?!

 

Runcorn 1 MK 0

The architects designed it with a view to it becoming a city and the centre is called the city centre

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Wasn't the urbanisation of the area a Tory idea due to the lack of housing in London? 

[Get Carter]

The architects designed it with a view to it becoming a city and the centre is called the city centre

 

I say I'm going to Town when I go to our City Centre doesn't mean it is just cause someone called it.

[cloggypop]

What are people from Milton Keynes called? I'm going for Milton Keenies.
