14 Problems Only People From Milton Keynes Will Understand

We're so much more than concrete cows, you know?

If you didn't know already, Milton Keynes is a large town in Buckinghamshire (note town, not city - efforts have been made to change its status, but it's still deemed a town). It's a pretty young place - not due to the youths who roam there, but because the town itself was formally designated in 1967, and built a few miles away from the original ye olde village of Milton Keynes, which no one seems to pay any mind to. It€™s likely that Milton Keynes is actually younger than your grandparents. But you€™ve got a few problems with living here. The fact that MK is bigger than Luton, Ipswich, Corby and Norwich and STILL doesn€™t feature on the local weather map is a fact that has never failed to drive you mad. And even though you€™ve lived here your whole life, you just can€™t quite come to terms with the fact that The Point is soon to be demolished. You also can€™t bring yourself to admit that you€™ve always followed the MK Dons, even though everyone you€™ve ever met seems to hate them. Are you a true Milton Keyneian? Find out, by seeing if you recognise the following ten things from your home town.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
