I guess it will be totally socktastic wherever you end up

Yes, of course Zoiderman, Old Hack, Dirty Dog et al

I'm eyeing up a place in Hunstrete as it happens.

To go north is even worse than Keynsham unless you can afford Leigh Woods or Westbury-on-Trym, but even then you're surrounded. Or move to Bath and take the train in.

BTW did you know Only fools and Horses was filmed in Eastville, south of Bristol, because Peckham looked too posh...

Keynsham would be my nearest town, hence the question.

Yes, I've done a few commutes into and beyond the centre of Bristol from the south & agree that you need to get in before 7 am to avoid gridlock.

Has the new mayor got the same anti car mentality as Ferguson?

Bath is where I was born & raised. Haven't lived there for a number of years, not much to my taste any more to be honest. Ain't going north of the Avon neither:

As for Eastville, <shudder/>

Keynsham was nice 30 years ago but it's morphed into a big dormitory town with too many people and houses rammed into every corner. Either go down one road to the A39 - Pensford is quite nice (far better than it looks at first glance...) and really convenient to Bristol) or out to the Chew Valley, although that's getting expensive. And Bristol CC hate cars so traffic will always be a nightmare wherever you are; the trick is to go in early, like about 7:00 and beat the drones.

I spotted AndyW's mum there a few weeks back.

Is there a particular reason that this blatant sockpuppet of the much banned fraudster/liar and thief is allowed to survive?

There are so few posters at the moment sockies are allowed to keep the numbers up.

[NotAllThere]

The rules are

1. You can operate a sockie
2. If the sockie becomes troublesome for a moderation perspective, then it is permabanned. Unlike ordinary posters who are usually warned first.

Great place if you are really hanging for a few rocks of crack though.

Is it twinned with Swindon?

[darrylmg]

Hmm Keynsham, I remember it well.
Used to have a nice big car park that cost 20p to park all day.
That's all I can remember, sorry.

Oh well, the Chandag Road area looks ok & it seems a lot more salubrious than Midsomer Norton.

It's all relative I guess

Keynsham is to Midsomer Norton what Belgravia is to Peckham.

Is Midsomer Norton where they had the idea for Midsomer Murders?

[bobspud]

Well I guess there are other ways in to Bath e.g. via 2 Headed Man.

No thats tulipe as well. I have seen people fall asleep in that queue and not cause any disruption to the traffic. You also get the added bonus of serious accidents on the junction thanks to people jumping lights/straddling white lines. I would be more tempted to go north of the M4 and find somewhere that is easier to use the M4 as the conduit.

As for Keynsham, I drive through it a lot. Normally at speed with the doors locked
