How did you get on???
Mostly A's - Johnny Bloody Foreigner
You have little hope in passing yourself off as Bristolian, even if you don't speak. You have no concept of what it is like to have the history of generations of sailors in your blood, and you probably never venture far past Clifton Down Shopping Centre. Maybe you should move back to Reading.
Mostly B's - Shipshape
You are a true Bristolian, despite your location of birth. You are as native as the mud in the Avon. You probably buy the Evening Post every day, but wonder why. It is people like you that keep this city alive. We salute you me babber.
Mostly C's - Space Cadet
Good god, if Bristol was on Mars you'd still be miles out. But to be fair I bet you can be entertaining after a few shandy's. Do yourself a favour and get a clue.
It also made me rather nostalgic for Bristol, even though I'm only ten miles away, I rarely make it back. Got to make it to next years Commen.
