Britain’s Ocean City in the South-West of England, Plymouth has the largest Naval Base in Western Europe. It can appear grey and dull, due to the rebuilding after WWII; the damage was huge and over1200 civilians killed. The ruin of Charles Church remains as a memorial to those killed and injured at that time. Despite a lack of investment by both Central and Local Government change is happening and, if you take the trouble to look, you will find a thriving arts, culture and music, vibrant nightlife and pubs and bars selling everything from ciders from Devon and Cornwall (they’ll knock your block off) to the best cocktails and champagne.
Plymouth people are accepting of strangers, polite and friendly, ask for help and you’ll get it. They are rightly proud of their city and the major part it played in two World Wars, so don’t diss it. Yes, Plymouth has within its boundaries a number of the peculiar life-form known as a chav but far fewer, per head of population, than London, Birmingham, Manchester or Liverpool.
You’ll find the National Marine Aquarium there, a house that was built in the 1300s, excellent hotels and restaurants and many more things of interest. If you are from the USA, it’s the port the Pilgrim Fathers sailed and there are the places where they slept, had their last religious meeting and the bakery that sold them their last fresh bread, Britain’s oldest working bakery. So come and see what Plymouth has to offer.

I’m going to visit Plymouth, might even move there. Well, if it’s good enough for Chris Dawson, it’ll do me.

The main city in the Southwest of England located on the south coast of Devon near the Cornish border. Plymouth is home is to one of the largest naval bases in Western Europe and home to far too many chavs.
Following intense bombing in WWII, the city centre was rebuilt by stoned and drug addicted urban planners who had a fetish for ugly concrete buildings. Most of the city centre and Union Street is now inhabited by total wankers who seem to like the disgusting surroundings.
Plymouth is also where the Pilgrims left from before heading to that nasty place called America.

I live in Plymouth and it would be nice if we rebuilt the city centre and exiled the chavs to a sinking boat in the middle of the Atlantic.

A place in SE Mass where the pilgrims landed on this stupid rock that every tourist seems to be facinated with and they ask you where it is all the time year round.

Apart from Bristol, Plymouth is the biggest city in the West of England. Like much of the West of England, the accent and dialect resembles that of a farmer although that dosen't mean that everyone has a bit of straw hanging out their mouths. Plymouth is a city in relativly low economic status with much of its residents being 'working class'. To visitors of this city, Plymouth is notorious for the amount of chavs or as they are known in Plymouth, 'swills', that are around. The city itself contains beautiful scenery as its next to the sea and is a fantastic place to be during the summer. Nightlife there is also an experience although if visting, be aware it can get rowdy specifically on the weekend. Plymouth offers gritty city life although it lies in the quiet rural county of Devon.

Plymouth is a city without a cathedral in Devon, UK.
I am from Plymouth
Parts of Plymouth like North Prospect, Devonport and stonehouse are despicable, they are full of idiots and drunks. These are small areas so you rarely see them. Places like the Barbican and Hoe have beautiful scenery and beautiful features. Generally the locals around Plymouth are friendly.
The air is clean compared to London.
People in plymouth are not actually chavs that wear Burberry. Most people in Plymouth are of the working class.
We have a naval port and a university. There are lots of students around Plymouth.
People are generally happy to help if you ask politely.
Overall Plymouth is actually a lovely place to live!

An automobile marque made by the Chrysler Corporation. Was usually the #3 make of car in the "cheap three", Ford, Chevy(Chevrolet), and Plymouth. Unfortunately for many, DiamlerChrylser axed Plymouth in 2001, but some of its models, including the Prowler and Voyager, were absorbed into the Chrysler marque. (The Chrysler Voyager has since been discontinued)
Matt Hoopes named Relient K after his Plymouth Reliant K car.

A slowly disintegrating town in Massachusetts full of pill popping and dope sniffing wanna be thugs decked out in Hollister/Abercrombie clothes. Most kids' families came from somewhere and Boston and everyone claims their parents knew Whitey Bulger, thus their wannabe gangster facade
Yo, you see that Plymouth kid with the tricked out 98 Honda Accord? Probably not because he was eating his shoelaces he was so high.
