In 1969, when the USA started to send its citizens to the moon, the UK
government was planning to build a new city in Buckinghamshire called
Milton Keynes. Six years later, Milton Keynes had a population
of 60,000, and it will have more than 200,000 inhabitants by the
end of the century. By contrast, the moon's population is now back to
its original zero. Milton Keynes has expanded from the original Milton Keynes Village to include: Stony Stratford - whose Cock and Bull inns have given us the phrase "Cock-and-bull story"; Bletchley - where the World War 2 Colossus computer was used to decode the messages of the German Enigma machine; and (very nearly) Newport Pagnell - famous for its iron bridge (built in 1810) and motorway service station.
