Anyone live in Milton?

[Wakingfartooearly]

Or know anything about it?

Dh has been offered a position there, we’re from The North, I know nothing about the place!

Milton is the village in the recently serialised North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. OP, is your DH in the cotton mills industry?

Same

Haha me as well when I first saw this 🤣

Waves to all the Pompey ladies!

This is a review of Anytown, England, isn't it?

Ooh no. Where we live now has a canal, not a river. It’s quite different.

It’s not Portsmouth, I think it has a restaurant pub called The Frog or it has frogs there, I’m not joking, this has been told to me and I’m desperately trying to remember where the woman says it was 😩
It’s a village/countryside type place, big houses apparently and where huge gardens have treehouses, lots of families have treehouses 🤷🏻‍♀️
Know this sounds ridiculous

There is a pub called Frog & Nightgown in Newport Pagnell, which is on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, MK16 I think.

Was just going to mention the Frog & Nightgown in NP! As it happens, I also know someone with a massive tree house who lives in Milton Keynes. Maybe the job is in MK!

Def not Milton Keyes, a village type/rural place called Milton

Not Milton Clevedon is it? It’s teeny!

I've just Googled it for you, no Frog pub in anywhere other than Newport Pagnell.

I'm modifying my earlier suggestion that "Guess the location from entirely random clues" would make a great Saturday Night Takeaway game...

100% convinced now that this IS the game, and Ant or Dec are testing how strange the clues can get before someone calls it 😀

You're having us on OP

I’m honestly not.

This has really tickled me 🤣🤣🤣

What woman? If it's your husband who has the job there, why haven't you asked him? And yes, it is ridiculous

I’m reminded of the episode of Friends where Chandler tells Janice he’s being transferred to Yemen.

Surely your DH knows which Milton? Having said that, we've just recruited someone who thought that we were located nearly 300 miles away from where we actually are. He's managed to transfer to a different base but still, he's facing a daily 150 mile round trip unless he moves closer to one of our bases.

The one I know is the one in Oxfordshire that has a big science park, is it that one?

It's almost like we need some sorting of computerised mapping system where you can search for details of where anywhere on the planet actually is and where it's near to, also find out more about it. Wouldn't it be great if you could just find out stuff like that? Someone should invent something like that.....

It’s the Newt pub/restaurant I think and Somerset hotel I think, so Googling it, is it indeed this tiny place? Anyone live there and can give me some info of life there? It sounds idyllic tbh, but possibly v expensive

@GCAcademic 😂Maybe it is the case, but what an odd place to say

So is your DHs new job in the Frog and Newt Pub Restaurant Hotel or is this just somewhere that you 'think' is in the local area?

No his job isn’t there, a woman at work told me these things were in Milton, the Milton she’s heard of

So we're supposed to tell you about Milton when we don't know which one it is, or if the one your mate at work has heard of is the same as the one where your DH has been offered a new job?

OK then.

So possibly Milton just outside Wells in Somerset.

Or perhaps Milton Clevedon, also in Somerset, which is slightly more likely (there is a hotel and gardens called The Newt near there.

Or maybe somewhere else
