Well he loves the wheel:

 

But he has trouble with doors:

 

So it looks like if he was asked the question, he would almost certainly choose whatever Putin prefers.

Personally I`m going to wait for the official stance from Br*stol R*vers Football Club before I decide.

Do tent flaps count as doors?

What have Megan Markle and Harry said? They usually make public statements about just about everything.

I`m sure that will be clarified in the statement. We mustn`t prejudge these things until the acknowledged experts on world matters have given their view.

The answer, in physical form, is wheels.

However.

In life, we have the ability every day to go through a door. When you make any decision, you go through a door to the rest of your life - be that a door to a new career, a door to a new relationship, or simply a door to being kind. Non-physical, but psychological, doors are everywhere and present the gateway to the future. So, on a theoretical basis, there are infinite doors without the same parallel for wheels, which makes the answer doors.

But, it’s wheels.

Hope this clarifies.

Someone on twitter, @BeardedGenius nothing to do with Bristol City, tweeted it to his 160k followers and the response was amazing. Over 320k views and a lot of love for it.

It was just the content everyone needed right now.

Could definitely be a scene from The Office with Tim winding up Gareth. All it needs is LJ as David Brent trying to get in on the act.

I think Ashton would have made quite a good Finchy

I’ve heard people with much stronger Bristolian accents than that, but then I live in South Bristol..

It’s right posh in Downend/Mangotsfield, South Glos innit!

They were asking the same question on radio 5 live in the night and people were ringing in with there answers 

Was a bit surreal as I wasn’t sure where the source started

Or will the wheels come off, leaving the door wide open for Blackburn?

Spurs have now done it too. Also funny but not in the same league as our Ryley.

Ryley is from Mangotsfield, isn’t he?

It did make me think as Bristol continues to gentrify & areas that used to be full of Bristolians now seem more like London suburbs, does that mean those who sound Bristolian are more likely to be found in Kingswood or on the other side of the City, say Pill?

Got a few in my family who have!  Mainly older guys though.  To hear a right broad south Bristol accent you need to chat to people aged over 65.

Credit to Ryley though for resisting the creeping Londonisation of West Country accents.

When I lived in Bournemouth, it was sad to me to only hear Dorset accents among my generation and older. Younger folk had that indistinguishable Home counties voice that is the same in Reading, High Wycombe, Guildford or Basingstoke.

My old man (BS3 born) is 81 now, bless him & Ryley sounds like a member of the royal family compared to him

My mates - all Somerset lads - called in to see my auntie and uncle with me one match day.

After a cuppa and some small talk we departed for the game and one friend turned to me and said: "I couldn't understand a word your auntie was saying. Was she born abroad?"

No, I told him, Bedminster Down.

Yeh, he went to Mangotsfield School (my mate taught him) and I played with his (cough cough) Grandad for RMC Wick, and his Aunty used to cut my hair in Cleeve Wood!

All my folks come from bedminster down,my grandparents were proper old school Bristolians(and great city fans) ,my great grandfather was a miner in Bristol and nearby,who knew we had mines and people scratching a living as miners  in Bristol!

My accent has a very mild West Country burr,my grandparents (long gone now) would probably tell me I’m posh.

Back in the 70s my first move away from Bristol with my job was to a very cosmopolitan Eastbourne.

One day we had a bit of an issue with a customer who had not made arrangements to make withdrawals at another branch  ( as you had to in the days before computers, bank cards and the like) he was getting a bit “agitated” so I went out to see him. I saw that his account was opened in Bristol branch and after a few questions was able to establish he was genuine and on hearing my broad Bristolian he quickly twigged as to my background and that I’d only recently left the Bristol branch.

He explained that they’d moved up 18 months earlier and loved the area ( or areal as he called it!) , but then added that there was only one thing he found odd. When I asked what that was he replied in the broadest Bristolian “ donum all talk funny up ‘ere”.

P.S. It was only after moving to Eastbourne that I became conscious of my accent, as everyone I dealt with spoke without any perceivable accent. Back in Bristol pretty well everyone I knew sounded just like me.

It was during lockdown - it had to be in a secret location.

Has to be doors, just think of advent calendars, 24 doors on them and think how many millions of them get sold each year.

Those are windows.

But in essence, what's the difference between a door and a window, they do precisely the same thing. Given that Advent Calendars are not see through, and a window by definition is;

1.an opening in the wall or roof of a building or vehicle, fitted with glass in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out.

Then it is more likely that its doors on an advent calendar not a window.
