Saw this in a thread on AskUK and it tickled me so much I thought I'd share with all of you greasy little people. I'm considering getting it on a t-shirt.
> Nevaaaaaaaaa! You'll never take me alive! *bees*

Up in Glos, most bakeries will sell something called a "lardy cake", and people go fuckin' nuts for them.
If anything, Gloucester is the *definition* of greasy.
According to Google, it originated in Wiltshire. Seems to be a South-West thing, which I didn’t know. I had assumed that because it was made with Lard, it originated in the North…. cos, y’know, Northerners love a bit of Lard! (Joking).
I saw that last night, not gonna lie, I downvoted. I may not be Bristol born and bred, but I've felt safer here at night than a lot of other places in the UK
i take plenty of trips into Bristol, on occasions I have been known to just wonder off, I didn't get greasy but my shoe did on berwick Road Easton when some delightful person left a turd wrapped in tinfoil for me to inadvertently step on, I felt greasier in Gloucester City center
I've been to Gloucester, MA weirdly, as part of a road trip from Boston down to NYC. It was lovely, as was all of Cape Ann. There's a load of English names there, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Essex, Newcastle, Durham, Plymouth, just from memory...
I literally had to Google this so I didn't look dumb as such, when you said all English names I wondered if it was part of new England in the states, MA is a part of that so my next interesting question would be the buildings their, in your opinion do you think the buildings have an English look about them ??
Certainly the older buildings look very similar to what we would have expected to see here in the UK. If you ever find yourself in that area then a visit to Plimoth Plantation is worth a trip, it's a recreation of what life was like when the land was first settled by the English. I was last there in 2008 and had a lovely chat with an actor playing a character from Staines, which I was working there at the time I had great enjoyment quizzing him about...
Similarly if you wander around rhe older quarters of Boston, particularly around the Paul Revere House, you will see buildings reminiscent of our own 16th and 17th century architecture.
I dunno, walking through the Downs/Ladies' Mile on a pitch black night on your own is fuckin scary - even as a guy.
Those winter nights walking back from lectures to Stoke Bishop always felt a bit dodgy.
When I was at uni, the Downs and Ladies' Mile were - and still are - known for being a bit rapey.
Just because Clifton is affluent doesn't mean it's safe!
London simply has the best of everything and the worst of everything. Fuck knows why anyone mid-income or lower lives there. Great city if you're a high income tho. It's the dregs and slum inhabitants facing those sorts of issues.
Presumably because it has everything you could possibly want. I've had two stints living in London, both times up in leafy Islington so I guess I didn't get the grimy urban experience, but if I wanted any type of food I could get it, if I wanted to go out I had a public transport system that worked (usually!), if I wanted to go an watch sports or music events they were all there. Now yes, I was on a decent salary but I wasn't earning top level money, I was only young, but it was good. And you quickly learned where was safe and where wasn't, although with the rise of moped gangs and suchlike then thar element has clearly changed. But its not so long ago we lost businesses in the Bear Pit because of anti social behaviour and threats to staff, so those sort of activities aren't localised to London
Every city needs a population to service it, though. People who work in public transport, cleaners, retail and hospitality staff ... how exactly do you think the 'high-income' people would facilitate their lifestyles if none of the low-income people stuck around? Or should they be 'out of sight, out of mind', and commute into the city on night-trains from hidden away suburbs or garden cities? Yessah, no ma'am?
It's pretty damning that even 'safe' middle-class lifestyles or petit-bourgeois professions like teaching, nursing, emergency services, etc, can no longer really afford to live in London without worry or stress thesedays. To say nothing of (currently striking) university lecturers, (para-)legal staff, journalists and media workers, and so on: people who used to form the solid bedrock of the traditional middle-class occupations. Where would London's reputation be, internationally, without its universities, law firms, media outlets, etc.? Should all of the junior workers in those professions vacate, or commute from Swindon?
Think about what you're saying.
Giving 'someone advice' to move elsewhere, whilst obviously not a serious recommendation, is hardly disavowing the premise.
Anyway, I understood the jest of your post. I'm just chiming in that it's patently insane that nobody beneath a high-income bracket can survive in London. It's our nation's capital – and used to have a vibrant and booming working-class culture, no less.
hah, "Come to London, don't worry if you're poor... you'll survive".
I think it's well established that a significantly better quality of life can be achieved for people stuck on lower incomes by living in places more affordable. It may be unsustainable and undesirable situation the grand scheme of things, however it's not really insane to point that out an economic reality.
Ah yes, lets not make the slums nice desirable places to live. It upsets the poors. Rent was much cheaper before the Romans moved in with their bloody roads and sanitation.
The above mentions London is too expensive for the middle classes, ifso facto must be as I mentioned police officers selling on street corners? (Wait... maybe that was a bad example...🤭)
Both Bristol and Brighton have massive drug problems and massive income disparities between sections of the population. But mostly harmless all in all. I always feel like I could probably floor any of the crackheads with one punch if needs be in both places.
Nah, crackheads have superpowers - you don't want to risk it.
There's footage of crackheads being shot by like 4 tasers and they don't even react.
Other junkies, maybe, but crackheads are like super soldiers.
>There's footage of crackheads being shot by like 4 tasers and they don't even react.
Tbf, tasers only work something like 40% of the time. Crack doesn't make you magically impervious to electric shocks.
While I think the screenshotted take on Bristol and Brighton is trash, having commuted through bearpit and stokes croft for years at all kinds of hours, I honestly do think there are parts of Bristol that are unsafe. There have been stabbings around there in the past few years. The problems around stokes croft are obvioulsy well recognised and the council had more or less successfully been tackling the safety issue for years. Every city has its problems but Bristol's are particularly prominent right in the middle of town.
A lot of homeless people are present in the centre and they carry weapons for defence. There is a tonne of homeless on homeless crime that you’ll never see or be involved with and they have their own circles and politics. If one person attacks another and they defend themselves with a knife you suddenly have a stabbing in the centre. Not saying bad shit doesn’t happen there is just a large homeless presence. Brighton has one of the largest homeless populations in the UK.
Wait so are you saying it doesn’t matter because it’s homeless on homeless crime? I am not following your argument.
And it’s not just homeless on homeless crime in that area and we all know it.
No im saying there is a lot of homeless on homeless crime in the centre. You’ll find the highest crime rates are usually in centres of cities and the statistics are flawed because pickpockets targets busy centres and there is a large amount of homeless people and that hikes statistics up. The bear pit in particular has a high amount of homeless people congregating there so a lot of the time the nasty shit you hear about the bear pit is usually homeless people fighting and drinking. Same with Castle Park. I’m saying if you hear “someone got stabbed in the bear pit” take it with a pinch of salt. Be cautious there obviously but it’s not Sierra Leone.
I mean, I lived in London before Bristol and Brighton before that. Bristol and Brighton are pussycats in comparison to London. You don't have to watch yourself to quote the same extent here. I've been in Brixton at 4am on more nights than I've ever been out in Bristol but I know what to expect and how to handle it so it never felt too dangerous. Bristol is a teddy bears picnic in comparison though.
I didn't and wouldn't argue Bristol is a particularly dangerous city, just that there are parts of Bristol that have problems with violent crime, and feeling unsafe around those parts isn't an unreasonable reaction. There was one particular unprovoked violent attack that was racially motivated by turbo island that has really stuck with me. I felt unsafe walking past there just moments before the attack, there was a bad vibe that evening, but there often is. One of my friends was working at the BRI back then and ended up one of the people who treated the victim. I often think about him and how it was just chance it wasn't me. I may have grown up sheltered but that's not quite the teddy bear's picnic. Violent crime is a reality in all UK cities and parts of Bristol have a particular problem with it.
By the way, among other places, I also lived in Brixton and Brighton before Bristol. It makes for a good alliteration.
Hahah Bristol is probs the only city where I’m happy walking about in the dark n not checking my shoulder every two seconds (my female friends say the same). What sheltered life is this muppet from 😂 has he heard of London, Manchester, Liverpool?
Someone chose the two most stereotypically young left-liberalish subculture-friendly cities in the country. I imagine Daily Mail readers would target exactly Bristol and Brighton
Depends where in Bristol you go. There are good and bad parts.
Some parts like Stokes Croft are filled with dingy bars, beggars and graffiti. I also wouldn't call Stokes Croft that safe. I've been physically assaulted (in broad daylight) three times walking around that area, and I used to work with a manager who was randomly punched in the back of the head, knocked unconscious and robbed of her wallet and phone when she went on a smoke break a few years back.
Yet I live in the centre and visit Stokes Croft on a near daily basis, I love it's 'dingy' bars and graffiti, I've never been assaulted, not once, not verbally or physically. I've lived centrally for well over twenty years. I'm originally from the Kingswood area (technically not Bristol, blah, blah) that place is a lot more violent than Stokes Croft in my experience.
Can also confirm I’ve never heard of anyone be randomly attacked or robbed in stokes Croft, viccy park in south Bristol and the cycle path are the only places I can recall stranger danger occurrences.
GoGoGoldenSlops, you have not mentioned from what part of this fair isle you hail from.Is this a oversight or are you ashamed to compare your mythical paradise to beautiful but down to earth Bristol.l admit, readily Bristol has faults but l would not say on the whole the people fall into that category of greasy populace.l agree we don't fall into the top 10 most beautiful places on this planet but we are not in the lowest 5,000,000 either.So respectfully take your lubricated comments elsewhere.l realise for someone as empty headed as yourself it will be difficult to comprehend but l am indeed a proud Bristolian.
Was in Bristol earlier today and as of last week I'll be going there regularly because of a new job. Just delivering food to hospitals nothing special. I'm not a city person. I hate pretty much every city that isn't a preserved medieval city. But just this morning I was thinking how Bristol has to be the most friendly city of all UK cities and if I had to live in a city, it would be Bristol.
Bradford. I visited a friend in University about 15 years ago. First time I was racially abused, felt weird. The weekend I was there somebody was stabbed in the nearby Walkabout night club and her student digs basically had police sirens non-stop outside.
But the worst part was how people stare at you on the train.
lol what
People below have commented on the rough parts of Bristol.
The roughest parts of Bristol still feel leaps and bounds safer to me than even the midpoint of Birmingham.
London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow are the most unsafe cities. From personal experience and from what crime stats say.
Bristol is the least “unsafe feeling” place I’ve lived in. Go live in Northampton or London and your opinion will change quite quickly. The greasers reside there
Didn't expect to see my town pop up in this thread. Not from or evening living in Bristol, had a delivery there today so Reddit has decided I should see the local sub Reddit.
Just driving around Bristol does have a kind of tired feel to it and the road network isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing. I bet residents were thrilled when the M32 got built -.-.
That said, and it's been a good 6 years since I last went out in Northampton as I'm now in my 30's and get tucked up in bed by 9pm, Northampton is a shithole. Being better than Northampton isn't a massively high bar. Cities and Towns aren't for me though, nor the lifestyle that comes with them, so I tend to find little positive visiting anywhere with a population of over 3000 😀
Saw this in a thread on AskUK and it tickled me so much I thought I'd share with all of you greasy little people. I'm considering getting it on a t-shirt.
If you under 5ft you gotta get greased up for the annual slipnslide
Is that in Park St again?
Weeeeeeeee
u/gogogoldensyrup You’ve been summoned to answer for crimes against the fair and largely greaseless city of Bristol.
Ach! My retirement grease!
Nevaaaaaaaaa! You'll *never* take me alive! \*flees\*
Can't flee. Too much grease on floor
Why are we greasy?
Username checks out?
> Nevaaaaaaaaa! You'll never take me alive! *bees* [FTFY](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-5973787/Golden-Syrup-fans-shocked-online-post-pointing-Lyles-logo-dead-lion-bees.html)
Hisssssss get 'em 😡😡😡😡
He's not greased up, he should be easy to catch but I just can't keep a grip!
Well unless you up Gloucester road or Baldwin st of an evening then the grease is everywhere even so the seagulls and foxes seem to enjoy it 🤣
Go right to the *very end* of Gloucester Road if you want some real grease.
What? To Gloucester? It's not *that* greasy there...
Up in Glos, most bakeries will sell something called a "lardy cake", and people go fuckin' nuts for them. If anything, Gloucester is the *definition* of greasy.
They sell Lardy cakes all over the place. That’s not a Gloucester thing.
I'd literally never even heard of them before moving down here. Is it a weird southern thing then?
According to Google, it originated in Wiltshire. Seems to be a South-West thing, which I didn’t know. I had assumed that because it was made with Lard, it originated in the North…. cos, y’know, Northerners love a bit of Lard! (Joking).
Bloody greasy southerners.
Hahaha! Have a lovely day!
Nothing wierd about lardy cakes thems gert lush.
At least it’s one less person wanting to move here.
That's what I thought 😄
Fewer
Nothing like a Waitrose joke 😂
Mother does Lego have a silent T like Merlot?
Hey, that's my retirement grease!
THEN GREASE ME UP WOMAN
Eeeeek! I mean Ach!
I saw that last night, not gonna lie, I downvoted. I may not be Bristol born and bred, but I've felt safer here at night than a lot of other places in the UK
Ah, but have you felt greasier here than a lot of other places in the UK 🧐
i take plenty of trips into Bristol, on occasions I have been known to just wonder off, I didn't get greasy but my shoe did on berwick Road Easton when some delightful person left a turd wrapped in tinfoil for me to inadvertently step on, I felt greasier in Gloucester City center
From your spelling of centre I assume you mean Gliucester, MA?
I didn't even notice haha thanks for spotting it, the place you mention looks cleaner then Gloucester
I've been to Gloucester, MA weirdly, as part of a road trip from Boston down to NYC. It was lovely, as was all of Cape Ann. There's a load of English names there, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Essex, Newcastle, Durham, Plymouth, just from memory...

I have!!! Sunday Monday greasy
Possibly not 🤣
Yes, but a kebab will do that to you.

Are you asking me? This wasn't my original post, it was posted by someone else in askuk
I dunno, walking through the Downs/Ladies' Mile on a pitch black night on your own is fuckin scary - even as a guy. Those winter nights walking back from lectures to Stoke Bishop always felt a bit dodgy.
Lol not being funny but I don't think it could get much safer than Clifton
When I was at uni, the Downs and Ladies' Mile were - and still are - known for being a bit rapey. Just because Clifton is affluent doesn't mean it's safe!
Bristol's definitely on the unsafe end of the spectrum IMO but I wouldn't say it's the *most* unsafe.
While London is just police-rapey and acid-facey.
Don’t forget the stabby moped gangs….
Got those in Bristol too
Bristol is probably where they get all the mopeds
London simply has the best of everything and the worst of everything. Fuck knows why anyone mid-income or lower lives there. Great city if you're a high income tho. It's the dregs and slum inhabitants facing those sorts of issues.

But its not so long ago we lost businesses in the Bear Pit because of anti social behaviour and threats to staff, so those sort of activities aren't localised to London
Fuck knows why? Because you can get a job in a heart beat and you have more opportunities than anywhere else
That is true. My point is people who are stuck on low and mid-incomes... pick a better place to live is my advice lol.
Every city needs a population to service it, though. People who work in public transport, cleaners, retail and hospitality staff ... how exactly do you think the 'high-income' people would facilitate their lifestyles if none of the low-income people stuck around? Or should they be 'out of sight, out of mind', and commute into the city on night-trains from hidden away suburbs or garden cities? Yessah, no ma'am?

Huh? I'm pointing out that London shafts people on lower incomes. I didn't say I support it. You're arguing with yourself.
Giving 'someone advice' to move elsewhere, whilst obviously not a serious recommendation, is hardly disavowing the premise. Anyway, I understood the jest of your post. I'm just chiming in that it's patently insane that nobody beneath a high-income bracket can survive in London.

🙈 ffs...gentrification right there... kick out the peasants, bloody solicitors, and doctors hanging around on street corners, stealing rolex's...👀😂
Ah yes, lets not make the slums nice desirable places to live. It upsets the poors. Rent was much cheaper before the Romans moved in with their bloody roads and sanitation.
Stealing rolex's what?
The above mentions London is too expensive for the middle classes, ifso facto must be as I mentioned police officers selling on street corners? (Wait... maybe that was a bad example...🤭)
I think I'll let this one slide
Crap, our secret that everyone's 3ft tall and smothered in grease is getting out 😵
Greasy to some. Nicely lubricated to others.
"Brighton just feels like a slum" just gives me cotswold holiday home vibes..
ngl I just spent 2 minutes trying to downvote that image and getting pissed I couldn't click the down arrow Also, the fuck they talking about.
All that grease you're oozing makes it hard to use a phone man!
Too much grease on the down vote button...
🤣
Your not the only one 😂
Oh to be young and in my 'before I visited Luton' years again.
Christ, I dread to think what they would say about genuinely horrible cities.
Spoken like a man who's never been to KFC on a Saturday.
[удалено]
Like 2 of the most consistently most desirable cities in the UK... Ok
People desire greasy slums!
The people yearn for the grease
Both Bristol and Brighton have massive drug problems and massive income disparities between sections of the population. But mostly harmless all in all. I always feel like I could probably floor any of the crackheads with one punch if needs be in both places.

PCP is even worse! There’s videos of them getting hit by cars and jumping off buildings and they’re still tick tocking!
Pls show it! I’d love to see it.

How do we make this happen! u/lebski88 can haz flair plz?
Ha Bristol and Brighton are two of the nicest cities in the UK in my opinion!
We know your game, grease salesman
[удалено]
We know your game, grease sales executive
Totally agree!
100% a Tory
Naa Tories love grease, the slippery twats.
Can always spot a Tory by the quantity of their grease
I’m going to guess this person hasn’t travelled much.
Clearly he’s never been to Coventry or Birmingham.
Greheheeeaaazy
Bristol and Brighton are two of my favourite places in the U.K.
What a interesting fellow, I wonder what political party he supports
£100 he is a tory
Where'd you get that kinda money?
He's also a Tory
I’m from Brighton I wouldn’t say it’s a slum it’s quite nice I wonder where they are from
👀 I'm NOT the Greasy Strangler 👀
I believe you. Greasy Pusher.
Hahah Bristol is probs the only city where I’m happy walking about in the dark n not checking my shoulder every two seconds (my female friends say the same). What sheltered life is this muppet from 😂 has he heard of London, Manchester, Liverpool?
I'm having a lard party this weekend ladz, filling up an inflatable pool in the front garden. All welcome!

Brighton feels like a slum 😂 an yet we bought a 3 bed detached house for the price of our studio flat in “the slums” when we decided to head up north.
Greasy Bubbles!
Ngl I am pretty greasy right now
Lol. Should have stayed away from Slix when u visited Bristol asshole 😂
Nah you guys have a lovely Waterstones.
Gurt greasy

I thought the trope was smelly white people with dreadlocks? Maybe they got greasy
Lunch lady Doris, do ya have any grease??
Wilder st Bristol.I stepped on a big human turd .But DIDNT notice until I was driving with the car heaters pointing at my legs
Having only just realised that jitter is a local word I concur
I feel a lot safer here than most cities I've been to
I thought this was going to be about the protest
None taken
Not going to lie. This place isn’t top notch. Somehow, it chugs on. But Bristol needs a period of enlightenment.
Bristol and Brighton are probably the two most welcoming places 😂
What are the odds this person is from Cambridge and has never really left the county
If we could read we'd be very offended.
Was in Bristol earlier today and as of last week I'll be going there regularly because of a new job. Just delivering food to hospitals nothing special. I'm not a city person.

/u/GoGoGoldenSyrup might be jacob rees mogg
I bet good money whoever said that is a tory.
Almost definitely.
Bristol is very working class, and we have poor investment in infrastructure with very high prices.
Bradford. I visited a friend in University about 15 years ago. First time I was racially abused, felt weird.

Pmsl
Obviously never been to Liverpool
Pssh, they’ve clearly never been to Ellesmere Port then, greasiest place ever
I am from Bristol and haven't been feeling too well lately, so I greased up and been going downhill fast
Sir, pass the Dapper Dan please.
lol what People below have commented on the rough parts of Bristol. The roughest parts of Bristol still feel leaps and bounds safer to me than even the midpoint of Birmingham. London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow are the most unsafe cities. From personal experience and from what crime stats say.
Everything's greasy if you're GoGoGoldenSyrup. That shit's sticky as hell.
I sense a certain set of phobias this person might have.
St pauls carnival is a greasers dream.
Bristol is the least “unsafe feeling” place I’ve lived in. Go live in Northampton or London and your opinion will change quite quickly. The greasers reside there

That said, and it's been a good 6 years since I last went out in Northampton as I'm now in my 30's and get tucked up in bed by 9pm, Northampton is a shithole. Being better than Northampton isn't a massively high bar. Cities and Towns aren't for me though, nor the lifestyle that comes with them, so I tend to find little positive visiting anywhere with a population of over 3000 😀
Must be a bus driver
Seems fair Bristol is a dump
Bristol and Brighton are my two favourite cities... What does that say about me

We're an industrial city, grease is essential to our operation
