12. My show's radio station is in Bristol

Hippies!!!

[Mark Baker]

19. I think you'll find Bristol is "self-satisfied"

It's Glastonbury that's "hippies".

To be more precise than that map of stereotypes allows, Bristol has lots of green types, with an organic cafe on every street corner. It also has a lot of hipsters.

I don't know Bristol well, but I like what I've seen of it, and I don't think "self-satisfied" is entirely fair. But I can see where they're coming from.

Glastonbury, on the other hand, is a small town with a wide choice of shops selling healing crystals.

20. I suspect 'self-satisfied' is meant to be Gloucestershire

and it's just started over Bristol to fit in. But maybe Bristol is a bit 'hipster' these days - I haven't been there in some time.

13. Love this map!

I'm originally from between fighty and belligerent on this map, but am a defiantly quiet and peace-loving tyke through and through!

Taylors Tea or pie & peas for me, please...
