Milton Keynes, Magpies and Suicide

Here's another random musing.
Milton Keynes is the most boring place in the UK, possibly even Europe but I'm not a big fan of Belgium, (but Brussels is a lot nicer than MK!).. Milton Keynes also has the highest suicide rate of any town in the UK, including London.

Milton Keynes is also the place that has the highest concentration of magpies.. they're bloody everywhere.

Magpies are famous for being bad luck.. all these mad people singing odd ryhmes about them and saluting them and what not.

So, maybe there is a link? Maybe they really are bad luck and thats why people keep topping themselves in MK? More likely though it's the sould sucking blandness of the place that gets to you after a while..
