    They can dress it up how they want but it smacks of good old fashioned NIMBYism to me - which, when all is said and done, is not necessarily a bad thing.

    Always liked Bristol, though I haven't been for a while. Full of hippies and Rastafarians. Tricky, Finlay Quaye, Massive Attack all come from there. definately something in the water (psilocybin I think). Anyway, every ****'s ****ed up on ganja and cider so it's no wonder they haven't built anything since that bridge.

    Surely it should have been called "Bristols"?

    He's from Edinburgh. And he's a convicted racist.

    Must have been a good place for gigs in the early 80s: Chaos UK, Chaotic Dischord, Disorder, Vice Squad all from Bristol and The Subhumans living about 10 miles away.

    I like Bristol. Lived here for 12 years now

    Cardiff is better mind.

    Could certainly do with a football stadium although could do with a decent team to play in it!

    Say what you like but that is one damned fine impressive bridge. Brunel was a genius.
