I live on the edge of Bristol in England. True Bristolians have a language all of their own. Have you ever heard it or can you understand it?Nobody knows why but Bristle folk add an 'L' on the end of any and every word which offers a conveniently overhanging 'a' or 'o' sound, but they do, and it's been going on for a long time. 'Bristle' itself is made out of brig (bridge) and stowe (place) plus a final 'L' to keep the dust out!Probably the most famous result of the Bristle L was the City Father who had three lovely daughters, Idle, Evil and Normal! When the opera came to Bristol it had Eval Turner, Primal Donnal of the Carl Rosal Operal. It goes without saying that the company performed such works as Aidal, La Traviatal, Rigolettol and Cavalerial Rusticanal.
We also tend to run words together and split them in not usually intended places. So do you know why Office Ed is daft? Or why when we answer the phone we ask, 'Ooze Pekin?'{With thanks to Derek Robinson and Vic Wiltshire - authors of A Load of Old Bristle}

It is a real book - try at www.countrysidebooks.co.uk or at branches of all good bookshops (like W.H.Smiths)! Will you let you daughter use the slider when she is big enough? Snot star tin train, is it? Thaw tie felt summit...

I have never been to Bristol but I feel if I ever do go I'll have a chance of understanding some of what is said. I have always understood it to be a lovely part of britain.
