Quote by Neil Gaiman
Note for Americans and other aliens: Milton Keynes is a new city approximately halfway between London and Birmingham. It was built to be modern, efficient, healthy, and, all in all, a pleasant place to live. Many Britons find this amusing.
Summary
This quote humorously explains that Milton Keynes, a newly built city, was designed to be a modern and pleasant place to live. However, the British people find it amusing because they view the idea of a new city designed to be efficient and healthy as somewhat ostentatious. The note addresses non-British individuals, particularly Americans, who may not be familiar with Milton Keynes or the British humor surrounding it.
