I think they were looking for a change from Exmouth, which I can understand, at least in principle if not in their choice of destination.
Doing everything exactly opposite from "The Mainstream" is the same thing as doing everything exactly like "The Mainstream." You're still using What Everyone Else is Doing as your primary point of reference.

Ah, Plymouth. Famous for its ever present drunken sailors, its escape bridge into Cornwall and its Hoe.
And yes, beware the CNLA and their vast funding from the might Celtic nations (and the USA).
Yes, Union Street was the place to be for drunken violence between various branches of the armed services. Though now, it's more just drunken chavs and their underaged girlfriends.
The Hoe - where chavs like to race their stupid, stupid, stupid body modified cars.
The Tamar Bridge - my experience was that it was always an escape from rather than into Cornwall. Which is why it's free to drive across the river to Saltash but you have to pay to get back.
