Bristolianisms

KittyInPink [Edit] [Delete] 21:23, 2 January '07

I'm moving to London in a month. But I'm going to miss Bristol and all it's little quirks I have become so fond of...

gert lush = things that are lovely
proper job = the task I have completed is more than adequate
where's at to? = where is that?/where is it?
ere izzet? = is it here?
mint innit = that is good isn't it
cheers drive = thank you driver
alreet my luver/baber = hello my dear

they also add 'l's' to words ending in 'a' or 'o'... eg ASDAl, tomatol, that's a good ideal, I work in a bank and someone told me to transfer money from their ISAl account the other day!

Any other Bristol dwellers feel free to add to the list. What are other quaint english sayings that you are fond of?
