CommonFreddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."
My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

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?

don't make me have to whinge about youfuckface!
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.

yupHenleaze 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.

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.
