Ouch. Sounds like you've had a particularly bad time - was that in Plymouth specifically or Exeter? I can imagine racial issues being far more serious in the SW given the absolute lack of racial minorities. Luckily I never witnessed it/plus my friends and I were brought up to despise racism. It is more the chav families I think.

And yes, the cavern is nice :)

Anyway I fear we are digressing from the discussion rather here :) email if you fancy, address on profile.

Plus points for the Cavern love ;-)

Never really had any trouble in Exeter - couple of pushy situations, but that's about it. One of my mates at Exeter Uni (99-02) was Asian and was subjected to some dreadful abuse. It seems to have got better in the last 10 years though.

nah. its all Plymouth. the place has changed now but we were the only ethnic minority for miles and felt like a tourist attraction at times.

I'm not surprised that it mostly happened in Plymouth really, it certainly seems to have a great deal more poverty and thus criminal/anti-social issues than Exeter, largely relating I suspect to the reliance on the military docks down there at which work has very significantly reduced.

Anyway, hope all is good for you guys now!
