The Bristol habit of adding an l to the end of words

"just popping to Asdal"

And people who say excape. What the strawberry float.

Alright me babber?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! As a Bristolian, this gooseberry fool REALLY bugs me.

I've got a pretty shocking Bristol accent, sadly. The worst is when I find myself saying "'av ee?" after taking the piss out of Dangerblade and his family for it. And "alright my luvver?". The adding 'l's to everything just gets so far up my nose. Add it to the Vicky Pollard-ness of most people in out area and I start wanting to go postal.

Electrocution is the only way forward. Sorry: elocution.

Unfortunately when he told me this I adopted the habit too

Ar-chives.

That is all.

Salisbury. Always said it Sal-is-bu-ry. Made my history teacher laugh when we were doing Victorian Politics during my A Levels.

I still find it really difficult saying the word 'prostrate'. It doesn't come up in conversation much, thank strawberry float.

I always used to pronounce "Derby" the way it is written (derr bee).

You'd be surprised by how often this word comes up in conversation in my circle of friends. Usually followed by the word massage.

Sounds like you are hanging around with a bunch of gays. A straight man like yourself should be careful around such reprobates.

'Play it by ear' has always and will always be 'play it by year' for me.

Surely they should be talking about prostates not prostrates then?

As long as they stay away from the prostitutes....

I always as a kid would say "pipper mix" instead of "pick n mix"

My mate couldn't say dynamite until he was about 14 . He used to mess up every time and say dy-mon-an-nite.

Just remembered I went to school with a guy who couldnt say sausages. This was when he was 16 or 17, hilarious but we were probably quite cruel looking back.
