I lived in one of those new towns (Cumbernauld) when I was a bit younger than
Andrew is. They are a nightmare I was attacked several times. No harm done to
anyone, fortunately. 
The "small town mentality" is something you either join in or run away from. I
ran away ;)
But then Andrew has said several times that he would rather die of loneliness
and boredom than live in London.
