A short and brief...

I grew up in Gosport. THE HIGHEST BREXIT VOTER IN THE SOUTH (Im not proud). It's not my favourite place however it's home and, since working at the local submarine museum, I have an unhealthy amount of knowledge about the it - Call me a local resident if you like!

Although now I currently live in London for studies, I often come back to Portsmouth for the sea breezes and cheap ales and its ALWAYS nice to have company doing so.
