Not living in Bristol, I wasn't impressed when I decided to spend the day there last wednesday before the Man City game. Not a very safe place.

Robbored Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Broadmead, right in the middle of the shopping centreShopping centers all ove the country are magnets for thugs and yobs - its not exclusive to Bristol.I love the City as well and the 2 years I spent exiled on the south coast in the 80's were a nightmare. Oddly enough the thing I missed most about this area was the unique accent. I used to get back for games at AG most of the time and it was those small exposures to the local people that kept me sane.One of the best things I ever did was come back to the area.

This was before mobile phones (!) and calls home were very rare.I was never so glad to see Allied carpets at the end of the M32 and Bristol Bus station!!!One thing though, only another Bristolian can really love our Bristol accent!!!

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Apparantly the bristolian accent is one of, if not the most hated/annoying accent in Britain. One of.....presumably after Birmingham/Wolverhampton. Manchester, London/Estuary, the list is endless. The squeaky scousers can get a bit tiresome too, just that they sound so comical they get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider11 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I find when go back to Bristol and Weston (as from weston) the first thing i notice is the accent, its better than any that i will hear around Huntingdon. Even if just go to an away game makes a nice change to hear the accent for a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
