I'm of Irish descent so I have no family reasons to defend the place. I've been to hundreds of towns all over Britain and Ireland through work and football, and Lynn compares more than favourably with most of them.

In general, lazy, arrogant, blithe statements about such and such town being a s**thole are almost always inaccurate at best and just plain ignorant at worst.
