A clothing stall in St. Nick's market is doing a good line in Bristol-related
T shirts.
Above - Severn Beach.
In reality Severn Beach is a sad place, full of ghosts. It used to be a seaside resort but fell out of favour, probably because it isn't near the sea.
It's on the Severn Estuary and the only attraction now is the nearby second Severn Crossing.

If you're looking to make it in the movies, make sure it's Hollywood you go to and not Withywood, which is a bleak suburb on the extremities of Bristol and, as far as I know, has no film industry to speak of.
Some of the "Bristol" expressions seem a bit suspect ("Gert Lush"? I've never heard anyone say that). However, I can vouch for "Cheers, Droive" when leaving a bus. Don't they say that everywhere though?

They definitely say it in Cardiff - sometimes to taxi drivers
blimey, what a lot to look at and read...I need a rest
They don't say 'Cheers Drive' in Manchester. I continue to get weird looks when I say it.
