Milton Keynes is a region in England I believe.
The thing about Milton Keynes is that it was less than half built in 1984, and was the butt of many a joke about its characterless modernist architecture and layout. It is/was a "New City" conceived to take overspill population from Greater London. Its about 20 miles north of Tring and 40 north of London.

Oh, that's really interesting. That does explain the joke a bit more at least. I really hate being able to say this, but it was a bit before my time. I have been enjoying the amount of history that this show and forum have been teaching me though - I only barely knew until recently about the mining history of the local town that I go to school in, with a large monument 4 minutes away from my old primary school.
