A dingy, lifeless town on the south coast of England where nothing ever happens. Steeped in naval history which is about the only thing going for it. Population is roughly 80,000. 30% are dirty unwashed chavs who'll stab you for a bag of chips. 50% are OAPs who'll tell you about when everything was all fields and the other 20% are people like me. Desparate to escape to somewhere half decent.
