Why...
are there so many people saying that Bristol is common?

Ok, it is in places, I live in Bedminster for gods sake, but is it really that common?

ha! Bedminster.
North Bristol FTW. South of the river? I think not!

don't make me have to whinge about you
fuckface!

Besides, Bedminster is pretty crap (I blame the overabundance of students). I used to cycle through it on a regular basis and I could never quite cycle fast enough. Could be worse though. Could be Knowle.

well...
I spent years living in Henleaze and I'd rather be in Bedminster anyday. Far more personality and character to the area and the people and much friendlier.

yup
Henleaze is boring.

North Brizzle has its low points. I'm on the fringes of Stoke's Croft.

Stokes Crpft??
and you have the guts to say that south of the river is common???

Meh, anyway, Bristol isn't "common", it's just "laid back".

heh
- judging from what I've read since Thursday, I am common. However, the sooner Stoke's Croft gets demolished and redeveloped, the sooner my house price rises, so I'm not that common.

I live in Stapleton
which is fairly nice, and borders onto Filton (brand new houses as far as the eye can see)

I live on Whiteladies Road, the things I see...

Why..
Never realised there were so many people from Brizzle on here! I grew up in Clifton, but now live in St Pauls (the nicest bit, honest!). Neither of which I'd describe as common - St Pauls has it's problems but now Harvey Nicks has opened just over the road I'm looking forward to being offered shoplifted Prada instead of the usual joints of meat from Tesco.
