Thats it. Our flats up for sale, Rachels got a new post in a Primary school there, I'm setting up my own business after working as a sex shop manager (I kid you not) in Soho London these past 12 years. Deep down I'm not going to miss it much. Once you stop looking at the bright lights and neon you realise the streets are so full of crackheads, clippers, crackheads, shoplifters, crackheads, the homeless, crackheads, dealers, oh and did I mention crackheads?. It's the stuff we sell aswell. I mean how many ******/vibrators/strap-ons does a man have to put batteries in and demonstrate in a lifetime? How many videos do I have to guarantee contain golden showers/brown sugar? (none of them do. It's one of the small things that gives me a chuckle).
How many death threats do I have to recieve just because the video/DVD didn't match their too vivid imagination?
I wonder, just how many gallons of lubricant have I sold? Scary. "Larger ***** sir? No problem here's a vacuum pump, Do you want cream for that?"
Nope. enough really is enough. No more stocking the gay video section for me. Never again. Not ever.
Plymouth here I come ( so to speak )

I think you'll like it there, however unless you are fond of a good punch up watch yourself on Union Street later in the evening. Always a good ruck or 2 down there once the beer has been flowing.

edited to add missing word.

I think I'm going to like it very much, the sea, the weather, countryside etc etc. Union St? Yeah heard all about that, I'll be staying well clear, no more of that crap for me.
