Saffron Walden 

Town in Essex that has lots of smokers, chavs, girls wearing rolled-up skirts, abnoxious teenagers and children and random old people.

All respect goes to those random old people.

Anyways, here in this town we like to name things improperly. For instance:

The Common -- No, it's just a huge field of grass, some benches, a little park down at the bottom and a 'labyrinth', when, in all honesty, it's just some lines drawn on the grass. It's not a 'common', it's a field.

Bridge End Gardens -- where is this bridge end? In fact, where is this bridge?

For now, this is really all you need to know about this beloved little town. Oh, and we got lots of shops :D
Person 1: So where do you live, Mr. Chav?

Chav: I live down in Saffron Walden. Can't get much better than that, mate.
Person 1: ....

Saffron Walden 

A large town in the Uttlesford district of Essex. Possibly one of the nicest towns in Essex, however you do get one or two chavs in some parts of the town.
Saffron Walden has a mixture of people, many of whom are old, others are younger, especially the super hot girls who always go to Weatherspoons. It is also near Cambridge, so the people are respectable. It is a wonderful little town

It has a number of places to visit:

Audley End House - A famous English Heritage property that is often on the front cover of their handbook. Recommended fr the under 8s and 50+

The Common - A field of grass with an ancient maze on it. There is also a play area. At Bonfire Night, a quite large fireworks display is held there.

Bridge End Gardens - A garden with a bridge. Admittedly, it could be a number of bridges, but I would opt for the one on Bridge Street (however the river does then go into a culvert, so only one side is a bridge really).

The Museum - A collection of old stuff

The Church - It's big
Person A: "Where did you go on the weekend?"
Person B: "I went to Saffron Walden - we made a day of it!"
