By Harry Stoke & Vinny Green

A Dictionary of Bristle, one of the city’s most popular books, is dedicated to the late Professor Colin Pillinger CBE from Kingswood for his services to Bristolian. 

For this edition, authors Harry Stoke and Vinny Green completely revised, updated, and expanded both the original Dictionary and the handy phrasebook section to include reference points such as Carboot Circus.

And with so many people now wanting to move to Bristol, Harry and Vinny have also developed a Bristolian Citizenship Test. Those wanting to relocate to the city from outside the area will be expected to score at least 75 per cent when answering the 24 questions.

Here’s an example of the sort of question ‘incomers’ will be asked:

Is the M Shed… 1) Something that wasn’t named properly? 2) My Shed with a letter missing? 3) A museum of Bristol located on the historic Harbourside? 4) A place where M People keep their lawnmower?
