At least we dont put an "L" at the end of every word that ends in a vowel. Never got used to that when i lived in your pleasant city. I remember chilcot comentating on a game between Australial and Western Samoal. Only seems to be south of the river though. Mudt be you boys otherwise youd be supporting the gas.
ever the cynic, but why can I feel a book titled, me(place name) my life as a gay footballer, being released in time for Christmas.
Are you sure they dont say baaalll. They could be footballing sheep. Lots of cows in brizzle. They say mooooollll.
Where the Bristol accent comes from and why everyone else speaks English wrong We were never conquered, you see, and we've been talking properly ever since... https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/history/bristol-accent-bristolian-english-history-889241
The name "Avon" is a cognate of the Welsh word afon, "river". The Avon rises just north of the village of Acton Turville in South Gloucestershire, before flowing through Wiltshire. In its lower reaches from Bath to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth near Bristol, the river is navigable and known as the Avon Navigation.
We were never conquered which is why our language is older than yours. The celtic languages, including cornish was what was spoken before the bastardised language that is english came into existence.
We couldn't call it the Taff - that was already taken, so we went with sponsorship from a cosmetics firm.
There is no "v" in the welsh language, though avon could be an anglicised version of the welsh afon or river. That would make the river avon the river river!
That’s what I heard. When the Romans asked a local what the name of the river was, a Welshman who happened to be there at the time called it Afon. The Romens then documented it as the river Avon.
I wonder how the Hampshire Avon got its name then? Bit far away for us welshies to be speaking with romans. Anyway, back on topic, what has the river avon got to do with gay footballers? Not a cryptic question or joke, we just seem to have wandered a bit.
I’m old enough to remember free milk at primary school and just about remembering the pre-decimal currency.
