This is the second Bristol post I’ve seen on HN in as many days. And quite right too! It’s a fab little city that I always enjoy visiting. It’s big enough to have lots going on, without being oppressively Big like London or Birmingham.
For more Bristol, I highly recommend the BBC comedy-drama series The Outlaws.

- roydivision 3y agoI moved out of the UK almost 20 years ago. If I was ever to move back (not right now...) Bristol would be top of the list for potential homes for exactly those reasons. And of course it was the birth place of trip-hop.

- kevthecoder 3y agoAs an aside, they were filming the latest series of The Outlaws at the same time as the annual St Werburghs City Farm Fair was due to run. The income from the fair is one of the biggest sources of income for the City Farm charity, so Outlaws paid the Farm the same amount they normally got from the Fair. Probably a good deal for the Farm as it takes a huge amount of effort to run the fair (but they also staged a delayed fair a few weeks ago too!). Honourable mention to Windmill Hill City Farm on the other side of town too.
