So we have some well mint and proper phrases.
For example.
We can go 'up the Downs' and if you are looking for The Bunch of Grapes pub, you'll find it 'round the back of the centre'
Ow biss.

I've been told to stop hollering 'Cheers Drive!' in the direction of pilots when arriving back at Bristol Airport.

I went to Uni in "Brizzzle" and lived there for a couple of years afterwards too. If there's some things I don't miss about it, then it woudl have to be the place and the people. Ah the memories....

mind you, bet you lived in Clifton if you were at the Uni.
A haunt of upper class bell-ends if there ever was one.

The 'real' Brizzole? They were a student mind.......If they ventured South of the triangle they were hard as nails.

Clifton twats - I was working in Clifton Down. A posh twat bitch who was living near the Triangle asked if we had a nearer branch. Now if you squint at it it is perhaps half a mile. She said it was too far to walk all that way uphill - I doubt if even a greasy marble would roll down the hill un-pushed.
Clifton always pushes my rant button
Plus they all wear flip-flops in the winter

Going up the shops.

'borrow me your pen'
is one I heard
I remember my first week at work in Bristle.
A bloke told me this spectacle frame has a nice big 'areal' on it like his old ones. had visions of him walking along with a huge antenna waving around in the air.
Still, the Bristol terminal L is the only example of a linguistic characteristic being unique to a city, in the world.
hence
Vauxhall Astral
Australial
I'm going to the cashpoint to drawl some money out.
Still I bloody loves the place.
Currently living in Fishponds
Cheers to R-Ma, your young-un and our babber :)

Yer, Fishponds is well posh these days innit. What with a Witherspoon's and a 'larger than average' branch on Corals.
Anyways, don't tell I, tell ee.
Gurt lush mint.

I used to work as a nurse in Southmead Hospital. So I heard all sorts of "Bristolisms." But my all time favourite, complete with additional "L's"
was:
My Saral has diareal. Which translated means. My Sarah has diarrhoea.
Ace!

One of my favourites and it fits in with where you worked!
You nervous mate?
Nervous? I'm sweating like a 'Meader in a Maths test!

Are thick, any maths test is bound to make the average 'Meader a bit loose.
You JANNER!

...frages
Fact, any bristolian phrase can be turned into a Gloucester one by adding "mind" (pronounced "moind") to the end of the sentence.
( , Fri 9 Apr 2010, 14:06, closed)

I moved from Gloucester to Bristol for uni and that's pretty much the only thing that was different about the way people speak.
