I'd really have to disagree with you there! I've lived in Bristol for 4 years, having previously spent 8 years in London - people are I know are happy here and find it difficult to leave. I've never lived in such an uplifting, diverse, creative place as I do now (Easton, BS5).

Also worth mentioning (response to a comment above) that there's a lot of colourful houses and murals all over the city, not just on the bits you see on postcards...!

But it's world renowned for its famous seven level Bristol Stool Scale!

They should open up an amusement park with themed rides and attractions to rival the Hundeprutterutchebane.

I’m not really sure why you say that. Bristol is an expensive city, and certainly has its faults - public transport is certainly not great, for example. But I think in general, not a bad place to be.

That's weird. I lived there for like 15 years and found it to be a lovely city. Some of the outskirts were rough and poor, but the town centre was always pretty nice.

Bristol seemed really nice when I visited from London, seemed to have a bit more going on than Brighton does.

The biggest problem with Bristol is how much of it has been taken over by upper and upper-middle class people moving from the South East.
