They've got buildings. I bet they've got buildings - and roads. Probably also cars.

It is. I'm reliably informed that yes, they do have buildings, and roads, possibly vehicles and - and I can't swear to this - maybe people. Most likely English, if I know my cities, which I don't.

It's also in the county of Leicestershire, which is pronounced Les-teer-sheer.
