nothing I could put my finger on.

it would appear I'm not the only one.

"Cambourne is a weird place though"

"this is a very special place, but weird, too. My daughter said it’s a bit like the town on
The Truman Show"

"Today I had to drop my son off at the house of one of his friends. In a new estate called Camborne in Cambridgeshire. This is a new build and very different from the mock Georgian Barrett homes. The estate is built around a green. There’s a conscious attempt to have range of styles. But it felt weird"

" The place had been built by accountants – I’ve seen more emotion in a slide rule. The idiosyncracy was designed in to make it seem more human. But if you lived alone and were incapacitated it would be months before anybody found you. Personally I think developers have a responsibility to create the possibility of community not just to maximise the cash value of a plot"

Did the big eared heir apparent design it, by any chance?

He has his fingers in that well weird place in Darrrset doesn't he?

Poundworth/ Bobsworth/ Knobworth? You know the place, a bit like the town in that film...
