Over 320k views and a lot of love for it. It was just the content everyone needed right now. They were asking the same question on radio 5 live in the night and people were ringing in with there answers Was a bit surreal as I wasn’t sure where the source started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a few in my family who have! Mainly older guys though. To hear a right broad south Bristol accent you need to chat to people aged over 65.

Redtrojan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 All my folks come from bedminster down,my grandparents were proper old school Bristolians(and great city fans) ,my great grandfather was a miner in Bristol and nearby,who knew we had mines and people scratching a living as miners in Bristol! My accent has a very mild West Country burr,my grandparents (long gone now) would probably tell me I’m posh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Bournemouth, it was sad to me to only hear Dorset accents among my generation and older. Younger folk had that indistinguishable Home counties voice that is the same in Reading, High Wycombe, Guildford or Basingstoke. Back in the 70s my first move away from Bristol with my job was to a very cosmopolitan Eastbourne. One day we had a bit of an issue with a customer who had not made arrangements to make withdrawals at another branch ( as you had to in the days before computers, bank cards and the like) he was getting a bit “agitated” so I went out to see him. I saw that his account was opened in Bristol branch and after a few questions was able to establish he was genuine and on hearing my broad Bristolian he quickly twigged as to my background and that I’d only recently left the Bristol branch. He explained that they’d moved up 18 months earlier and loved the area ( or areal as he called it!) , but then added that there was only one thing he found odd. When I asked what that was he replied in the broadest Bristolian “ donum all talk funny up ‘ere”. P.S. It was only after moving to Eastbourne that I became conscious of my accent, as everyone I dealt with spoke without any perceivable accent. Back in Bristol pretty well everyone I knew sounded just like me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in essence, what's the difference between a door and a window, they do precisely the same thing. Given that Advent Calendars are not see through, and a window by definition is; 1.an opening in the wall or roof of a building or vehicle, fitted with glass in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out. Then it is more likely that its doors on an advent calendar not a window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
