Hello I was in Bristol recently and on the walking tour I discovered the shoe tree (shoes hanging from the tree branches) at the College Green. I now don't remember what the tour guide said about it. Please could anyone fill me in what connection the shoe tree has? It will help me write my VT tip. Thanks Dawn

Hi I'm contemplating a job in Bristol. I only know the North of England and so know nothing about Bristol and just wondered if anyone could recommend any nice towns nearby, with good transport links into the centre, that I could look for accommodation in. Or is Bristol itself a nice city to live in? What are the names of the areas where you would get professionals/families/not too studenty? Or as mentioned, the names of any nice little towns or villages nearby but with good direct bus/train links to the centre of Bristol. Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone. Me and a few friends are contemplating heading to Bristol for 5 or 6 nights in May while we dhave time off from rugby before preseason starts.We're attracted to Bristol because we can get there for 8 euro each way and understand budget accommodation is plentiful.We've also heard great things about the nightlife there,which is the main reason why we'd go. Can anyone shed some light on the nightlife in the city,and what it will be like at this time of the year?Can people also recommend their top 3 things to do during the day in the city,as I'd like to get a variety of opinions on how we should pass our time in Bristol. Thanks in advance,and any input is appreciated. Regards, wigsa

I have a question for you locals ! I wanna go to Cardiff and actually Easyjet is the cheapest way to get there from Paris . Flying out to Bristol and then take a train to cardiff seems to be way cheaper than paying the high cost of airfares by Flybe from Paris to Cardiff . So my question is how to get to Cardiff from Bristol Intl Airport ? Is there a Train Station at the Airport ? Do i have to take a bus to Bristol then the train to Cardiff ? Thanks a lot in advance for your answer .

I am very unpretentious, very flexible and most of the time, I am fun person to be with :-) Hope that anybody is able to help me. You can also contact me via speckham1@gmx.de Thanks to everyone and best wishes, Theresia
I am going to come in Bristol 3/4 days for the end of the year 2007 with a friend. For me it's very important to find a vibrant nightlife. We are italians so we don't need a few drinks. What about the cost to "come in " in the clubs? Last year i have been in the south, in Bournemouth, the accomodation it wasn't cheaper but the cost of the nightlife was good, 1/2 pouds for "come in" and only in the weekend,so also the cost of the drinks was good of our local standards. I need any useful information about Bristol clubbing nightlife. thanks

I'm moving to Bristol at the end of the month and I love to go to car boot sales. Anyone know of any in and around Bristol? I searched on google and only found some in another forum of 2005, bit out of date now. One mentioned was in Bradley Stoke (where I'm actually moving to), is this still going? Is it any good? I'm thinking that looking in the local papers once I get there might be the way to go....? Thanks for any help.
