Bristol a visit.

Seen a couple of programmes yesterday regards having some topics on Bristol.

New it to be a historical place. But not so much as it must have.

Yes, drove over the cut in Cliff overlooking the estuarial waters many times. I was always impressed too. Stay overnight once on the way to Cornwall.
Even did a couple of gigs there. But was always put off by the 'Parking'! Must be in the top five in the country regards worse for drivers / Locals., Very disrespecting to drivers. Indeed a curse on small outlet and shops.
Yes, bribes from more significant concerns and backhander and councillors own interests maybe. Must be killing their' trade!

But now I have my 'Blue Badge' we will, Joyce and I, check-in a hotel for three nights to take a decker.

theres a hotel on top of the gorge ...used to be called avon gorge hotel or the ibis hotel on millenium square is nicely situated on the harbourside in the city centre a stones throw away from the ss great britain and the matthew and brunels& bristols industrial museum and queens square also cabot tower and you could also have dinner in the hatchet or naval voluntier one of bristols most oldest pubs/inn all within a few square miles of the city centre and a added bonus of the cathedrals x 2 and a very very special chapel just opposite the cathedral on college green you will have plenty to do in yer 3 day stay i am sure ...maybe even fit a loft visit in to atb

Lost me with this one etc Daz I'm   Blue badge what is that all about as such . & take care.

free on street parking where available basically oz

Blue Badge, can park on double yellow lines etc. Maybe only 2- 3 hours.
Free parking in MOST car parks Knackered.

For instance nephew son#s house is about 200 yards from the hospital. Free parking granted. Camera been put up which have never worked, or set up as such. Like many more.
But now I can park 30 yards from Hospital entrance,. or in the Diabetic car park free. Average 3 times a week with blood tests/ warfarine etc. Saves £3 x 3 or for times a week - used too - £9 - £12 a week!

Thanks Daz for info. Will ask more when out of this virus lock downs etc.

no worries daz just give me a shout nearer the time ,theres also the best hamlet in the country here ,lots of filming has been done there ie harry potter ...just up the road from the hamlet is blaise castle estate which has a nice museum (free) and victorian gardens etc...plus some mythical structures linked to the "giant goram"
yes plenty to see and do daz atb

Seems like it may be longer than 3 days lol.

Was doing a gig at Bristol - can't recall the venue, and can't be bothered to look upp past contracts lol

But a fellow came in with Cheese orders.
Had a taster, and was well pleased. Am a cheese lover, and getting good cheese is hard to come by and certain dearer, but well worth the extra costs.
I said 'That's good, real good, and wanted to buy some. He peeved me off lol saying he took orders one week and delivered the next, and only had 'Tasters on voard. So of course didn't, more's the pity, buy any lol.
