Portsmouth is the United Kingdom’s only island city. An island on an island! Portsmouth is also our home. It’s where we were both born and where we’ve lived all our lives. It’s a city with a lot of history on account of its use as a naval port for hundreds of years so if you’re looking to visit the UK and you’re after a place with museums, ships, military connections, a beach, and access to the Isle of Wight and Europe then you could do a lot worse. In fact, the only bad thing to say about Portsmouth is that the people in the north of it keep voting for the Conservatives and the city was strongly in favour of Brexit because it’s full of angry, racist morons. I’m allowed to say that because I was raised in Wymering and people who know Portsmouth know that means I know what I’m talking about. Anyway, don’t let that put you off visiting; let my posts about the city do that.
