Listen To Him!

Growing up in Bristol, I found the coarse accent to be a real barrier to finding girls attractive. On the rare occasion that I plucked up the nerve to approach one the fantasy would crumble the moment she spoke.



Bristol is a large city in the otherwise rural South West, so you get the worst of both worlds and sound like a farmer in a hurry. A friend is involved in the commercial redevelopment of central Bristol and, allegedly, several retailers were reluctant to invest because they thought all Bristolians were like Vicki Pollard in Little Britain! The Powers That Be made a promotional video featuring Cliftonites to convince them otherwise.

Beast Clothing in St. Nick's Market sells a nice line of t-shirts celebrating local places and phrases. I understand most of them because I'm native. How many can you decipher?
