That's a bit ambiguous, where on the South Coast?
Weymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Southampton etc?

Ha Ha ?? Dutchy, brill.
It's just that being in the RN and going on holiday with the sprogs I didn't frequent the other places that you mentioned. But how I omitted Plymouth and Dartmouth I don't know. Maybe I'm thinking of the South Coast and not the South West Coast.

Quite right Dutchy, I'm a bit embarrassed, I began my naval career in Cornwall (Torpoint)

Never been to Exmouth or Falmouth. Are they worth a visit.

Falmouth ..... certainly!  Pubs, pubs, pubs, eateries, Maritime Museum, Pendennis Point/Castle,  day on the local Ferries to St.Mawes and/or up the Fal River to Truro and back, ......... did I mention pubs ?

Edit: and plenty of grey RFA boats in the docks incl. the new supply tankers.

Believe it or not Dutchy, I have never been to Eastleigh, If my memory serves me right that's where the bootnecks are based.
Also, I have never been to Southampton (Merchant rather than Royal)
