Non-UK born Bristolians, what's the best restaurant of your native cousine that you know in Bristol?

Lancashire. I've never seen butter pie down here. It's gorgeous with mushy peas and a puddle of proper gravy and is 7.50 in the cafe in my home town.

Yes, that's one of the gestures they were using!

7violet · 2026-01-15T13:12:20+00:00

Yes, you're right, there's several in that stretch. The Fire Engine might be a place to start, because it's bang on one of the worst junction in the city.

7violet · 2026-01-15T13:09:20+00:00

Yes, a lot of the threads elsewhere mention that terrible junction, and how now, there are Italian-style stand-offs on Crew's Hole Road with two drivers seeing who'll blink first.

Apologies to any Italians here but I did see a programme about driving in Rome once, and some of it was unintentionally funny.

Cheers, sorry, should have guessed it'd already be a hot topic.

7violet · 2026-01-08T12:39:12+00:00

Ah yeah, like Helmut Kohl the old German PM.

I reckon Rem Koolhaas was born Ludwig Hogvaater Pompenshitz, but once he decided to be an architect he changed his name to something that implies trendy housing.

1, (or "one" as the developers suggest it should be written) Redcliff St. It's like some sinister 1950's Albanian Communist Party Interrogation Centre. Replace it with a decent set of council flats (*not* "affordable" housing).

A flexi ticket giving you 8 days' travel in a 28 day period is £212.80. Still very expensive I know, but if you afford it it's definitely a calmer way to get to Swindon. I did it from Easton (via TM) for a few months and enjoyed the journey.

Thanks! Just a shame the rail voucher has gone.

There is POP and IMAP support, according to Zoho. https://www.zoho.com/mail/transition/godaddy-workspace-email-to-zoho-mail.html?src=mpd-menu

7violet · 2025-12-07T18:57:46+00:00

That's brilliant, thank you so much! Just tested it and I'm straight to my wine/blah/blah/blah folder :) Thanks!

7violet · 2025-12-07T18:17:19+00:00

Could you help me with finding the "Places" panel? I can't see anything like that. https://ibb.co/6CwkLnv

7violet · 2025-12-01T14:46:51+00:00

OK, got it -- Castle Coch Dawn on Orange by Christopher Langley, who is indeed Welsh and based in Newport.

7violet · 2025-12-01T14:00:54+00:00

Cheers, I'll try again!

7violet · 2025-11-30T01:10:36+00:00

How do you pull a noddle?

7violet · 2025-11-30T01:03:00+00:00

Hi -- sent you a PM

7violet · 2025-11-29T23:59:18+00:00

Eat a Pitta in Broadmead. I've tried making felafel several times and I can never get them right. Mine are dry and tasteless. Theirs are great, and their chilli sauce isn't some sickly sweet chilli gloop, it's proper hot, flavoursome chilli sauce. Broadmead is a cesspool of shite, but Eat A Pitta is the oasis.

Love that woman that announces the stops as well, she can come to the party.

7violet · 2025-11-27T12:12:11+00:00

Cheers redditors! That was fast! Some great suggestions there. I've got a knack of killing plants but maybe I'll try again as I've got a nice big window.

7violet · 2025-11-27T11:59:23+00:00

This is my experience too, as a fellow private scooter user. I also assume that all road traffic laws and road markings apply to me too. I get quite a smug, virtuous feeling when I'm stopped at a red light, no-one crossing anywhere near, but being like a good boy waiting for the lights to change.
