Well done being married for so long ! I am bias about cornwall being the best place in the country but plymouth comes second. I am thinking about my young self a lot lately, the first mr k and i are still in touch and we reminise a lotYour post also takes me back about 45 years Kaz.
I first went to Plymouth in August 1979 with my new girlfriend ( we've now been married almost 44 years).
Her older sister was married to a sergeant in The Royal Marines and they lived in Plymton, which is on the outskirts of Plymouth.
We were there when The Fastnet Yacht Disaster was taking place ,so as you can imagine the weather was terrible, but we visited all the tourist spots while we were there.
And Barbara had already visited her sister for the Silver Jubilee in 1977, so she knew her way around the city centre, including the Barbican, The Hoe ( I think she said there was a beacon lit there in 1977) and as you mentioned Union Street, where we went for a drink or two in various pubs.
Some matelots once asked me which ship I was from,as I must have looked like a military type with my short cropped hair,but I just told them I was a civvy landlubber with no interest in naval affairs.
One thing that does stick in my memory is the number of military police officers who were in and out of the various pubs, trying to keep a lid on things.
We did the same holiday in 1980, but my brother in law left the Royal Marines in 1981 and he became a police officer with Norfolk Constabulary,so that curtailed our visits to Plymouth.
Him and Nevillle should be put together as the dream team to save the rags. After all, they’re both winners shrouded in that famous rag DNA.Sacked after 83 days at Birmingham with 9 defeats in 15 games and that’s after somehow getting sacked from the retirement MLS league, and 4 wins in 23 games at Plymouth.
Anyone else stupid enough to appoint him deserves all they get.
No doubt though it’s another ex Rag for Sky/TNT to shove down our throats as we listen to him telling the world about the tactics in games he watches despite being a total failure as a manager
Roo-in.Shoo-in

I’d like to think wherever he is about to rock up next, their fans will make enough fuss before he puts pen to paper to make the chairmen realise it’s one way to oblivionShould do a sweepstake at where he ends up at next.
Salford might be too obvious.
Wigan were mad enough to try Kolo Toure, so they might give him a go.
You’d like to think so, but somehow, he gets exposure for the club he’s at and they get more TV money as a result.I’d like to think wherever he is about to rock up next, their fans will make enough fuss before he puts pen to paper to make the chairmen realise it’s one way to oblivion
They could share the brain cell .Him and Nevillle should be put together as the dream team to save the rags. After all, they’re both winners shrouded in that famous rag DNA.
