Born there. The tour de France had stage 2 there 1 month later - apparently one of the worst stages in tour history.
Compete dump.
That's about all I know

My grandad was from there, and I had other family who lived there, and used to go there every year when I was a nipper. Went back during my later years and enjoyed walking along the Hoe again, and also the Barbican.
Haven't been there for a few years though so wouldn't know what it's like now.

It's a navy town and like everywhere good and not so good parts. The area around the Hoe is nice, plenty of pubs and places to eat. Most probably more geared to visitors than locals. I visited Flavourfest a few times but not been on recently thanks to COVID.

Plymouth has changed massively over the last 20 years. The hoe n barbican of course, City Centre has improved, the whole area is nice and a lots of great places to eat n drink from the hoe to mutley plain. Then you have Royal william yard , a fantastic development of bars n restaurants, art galleries. Why not get a ferry to Cawsand, Mount edgcombe or Mount batton. Can hire whatever you'd like boat wise and fishing trips are great. The aquarium is the biggest in Europe, every park from Devonport to Central are now all very impressive, not the shit hole I remember when there in 1990.

just remembered this story.........
Forward George Reilly, who scored Watford's winning goal in the 1984 English FA Cup semi-final, has had his ear bitten off by a disgruntled Plymouth fan who had held a grudge over his team's defeat for 19 years.
Reilly, a 6 feet 4 inch striker, became a bricklayer after hanging up his boots and was working on a building site in Corby, Northamptonshire when a labourer punched him to the ground, England's Sun newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The attacker chewed off one of Reilly's ears and whispered "Plymouth" into the other one.
Doctors had to use 50 stitches to sew 45-year-old Reilly's ear back on.
Plymouth lost the semi-final 1-0, the closest they have ever come to reaching the FA Cup final. Watford went on to lose 2-0 to Everton in the final.
"I can't believe someone has held a grudge for that long," said Reilly, who also played for Newcastle United. "I know people have strong loyalties but this is taking it a bit far.
"This guy just punched me. I overpowered him and we were both lying in a pool of mud. Then he bit me. My ear was hanging by the lobe. I also needed eight stitches in my eye, so I'm in a bit of a mess."
Reilly, who said he may call in the police, added: "The bloke was from Plymouth but he has vanished from the building site. I don't know who he is."

I am in The Mannamead pub, a Wetherspoons in Plymouth.
I'm about to order the brunch.
Why the fuck would I be lying about that?
It's hardly zoltaneering is it?
