Night scene of Colston st, Bristol.
Cue soft jazz,
perhaps a lady with a tray of mini ice creams.
The glow of cigarettes in the darkness.

We got good bikes coming out of our ****holes, sirBristol has loads of great bikes knocking around
It's the opposite of Holland, where everyone says
"great for cycling" but most of the bikes are crap.
Bristol,
hilly,
poor roads,
rainy,
seething with white van men,
make of it what you will!

First time I ever heard of Bristol was in English GCSE. We studied a book called 'Junk' about hippies, heroin addicts, anti-capitalism, crime, prostitution, squatting. No mention of statues. I got an E.
The T.V. adaptation included a - presumably stolen - Vauxhall Nova.
I've always been intrigued by it since and wanted to have a good look round but never had chance to visit besides a couple of bike purchases and working at Rolls-Royce years ago.
Looking back, I would have preferred to have learned about it in History, but we did the battle of Hastings for 2 years in a row for some reason. My teacher was so old I reckon she was there.

I spent a lot of time in Bristol on and off through the 90's. First girlfriend lived there (originally a Clifton lass) and moved about so i got to see all the truly wonderful areas where students typically lived. There and Preston when she was studying. I liked Brizzle back then, but not sure i would now.
