      Have had my car broken into 3 times in the last 20 years. Bristol Glasgow and Manchester.
      Have only had a CCTV parking fine once. Bristol!!
      I only go there rarely as well!!
      Worst of all though, they voted Dawn Primarolo in as MP on numerous occasions. Reason in itself for firebombing the place!!

        Yes, and the rest of UK was not involved in slave trade - they were only customers rather than port which handled logistics?

        Bristol was nice when I seen it - granted it was nice weather in autumn, city center as well, so maybe it's tulip on the outside but at the core it seemed very nice.

                  I was reminiscing today about the couple of years I spent living in Bristol - it's my favourite city by far. It was also the scene of one of my best embarassing stories, featuring a (technically) stolen car, pyjama's, and a half broken tooth.
                  Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
