plymouth

A city (one of the few of which in Britain to be missing a cathedral), located in the large county of Devon, Southwest England, which has a mix of the good and the bad: the run-down areas (i.e. Swilly, Mutley, Devonport) and the respectable areas (i.e. Mannamead, Derriford, Leigham, Plympton), the nice folk and the arseholes (as found in action along Union Street, at the weekends) and the eyesores (i.e. Union Street and much of the city centre) and the tourist attractions (i.e. The Barbican, The Hoe).

Home to a Naval Base, whose residents dominate the local nightlife, harbouring intense a dislike for the resident student population (who have a poor relationship with the locals, too).

Is never as nice as anticipated once you arrive, and is probably the roughest part of the Westcountry, but could certainly be a lot worse. At least it's not Liverpool or Manchester, hey? Every Plymouthian tends to get decked out in Burberry clothing items for their 13th birthday, not taking them off again for years. Definitely a city of great contrasts.
