My youngest's passing out parade this weekend in Plymouth......

so a big family weekend away, anyone know Plymouth well, any sights worth visiting? Thanks in advance.

 

tell him to leave !! now !

while he still has chance....

but onto your weekend.... raleigh is in torpoint , small town over the water in cornwall from the main town of plymouth in devon , for the tourist there is the barbican , a series of small streets moulded around the fishing harbour , plymouth hoe is nice overlooking the entrance to devonport, best avoided in the rain tho... the town center is pretty much an identikit town center , lots of shopping and such like with the main pubs being on union street , best avoided if with the family...

 

He moves to Pompey on monday, HMS Collingwood......

to start his career proper, weapons technician, he's a massive Reds fan Pompey will he be welcome in Portsmouth?

 

RE: He moves to Pompey on monday, HMS Collingwood......

tell him to come find me ! im at collingwood for another 3 weeks before i go off to sea.. portsmouth is fine mate , usual scenario that its full of sailors , loads of students and the locals so its a pretty eclectic mix sometimes... usually all 3 groups keep them elves to themselves though..

hms collingwood is in fareham , bout half hour on the train or 20 quid in a taxi away from portsmouth...

 

Blimey! They have elves in Portsmouth?

Soz, couldn't resist love

 

RE: Blimey! They have elves in Portsmouth?
