- Harlow has double the national average on the rock and roll.

- Single mums beg in the streets.

- Refugees actually flee Harlow back to Afganistan.


Only one of the above statement is true. And one might be true although they are more likely to selll sex rather than beg. The other is false. Refugees seem to LOVE Harlow.

you sure

Do you know what the most boring town was?

I think it was Macclesfield, I'm not 100% sure though.

Milton Keynes is famous for it's concrete cows - but I've never seen them. It has more roundabouts per person (or it might be square mile) than any other place.

Bletchley (a small town in MK, where I live) was the home of the Enigma machine which cracked all the codes in WWII and was the world's first computer. (Although not according to the Americans)

If I remember correctly the concrete cows are actually a fair bit out of the town centre, on the road to Stony Stratford.

hope this helps.... Smiley

I am from Newbury, home of the racecourse, but also famous in the 80's for RAF Greenham Common. Aside from purportedly housing nuclear weapons (THAT'S another story ;-) ), RAF Greenham Common had the longest runway in Europe. At just over 3 miles long, it was the only place in Europe where the Space Shuttle could make an emergency landing - it was put on alert for that eventuality a couple of times. I lived about a quarter of a mile from the start of the runway - that would have been a sight to see!

Yeah, sort of.

Apparently they are in Stacey Bushes. The only thing I know of in Stacey Bushes is KFC. Stop the cultured one.
