Market Pickton

Market Pickton is the average market town in England, with a population of 12,453.32. It is in Kemptonshire, somewhere in the Midlands. Any similarites to Newport are purely coincidental.

History

Market Pickton was not recorded in the Domesday book, but is mentioned by Nostradamus as the only place in the World sufficiently boring that none of his prophecies occur there.

Its three-hundred year-old market now only sells itself, if anyone would like to buy it.

The Town

Market Pickton has a church, a selection of chain supermarkets and five different gnome shops.
