I agree but the prevalence of knives is truly worrying ,the first weapon of choice for too many now but when you see a sentence of 8 months dished out despite witness statements and police interaction no wonder so many take a chance on carrying one. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/watch-moment-off-duty-police-officers-enjo | |

Its moving closer to the western edges on 18:06 - Feb 15 with 2187 views | Dr_Winston | My mother spent the best part of five years living and running pubs up there and the people were great. Quite a few of them used to come down to visit her here. I'm up there regularly visiting a friend from Cwmbran who has lived all over the city and no problems there either. Certainly no "Welsh hating" that I've ever witnessed. It's got its nice areas, it's got its grotty areas. Same as everywhere else. | |

My sister travelled there for work for 6 months ( a few years back) and she said she never felt safe leaving work to wak to her car. Mind you, it was only a short walk to St Pauls. | | | |

Have you considered the possibility that it was just you they didn't like? | |

Never once met a Bristolian who hates the Welsh. And I lived there and then close by. Football,yes, but that’s football. | |

Exactly this. I found them very much like Swansea Folk in the main. Decent, hard working, and contemptuous of Cardiffians. | |

So are you saying that all of Wales should be judged based on how much people despise Cardiff? Based upon responses to this thread, people in Bristol have no issues with Welsh people in general. Just those from Cardiff and you. [Post edited 16 Feb 22:48]

Its moving closer to the western edges on 01:07 - Feb 17 with 1744 views | Robbie | Been to a few shows in the Old Colston Hall , sore point I appreciate for Bristolians , always felt safe for a post gig bevvie in their locals haunts , no issues when I visited there . Now avoid Swansea City Centre at all costs , necessary trips only , areas are now filled with zombies and e bikes , awful sight for a once great Town . My alternative is Neath as a go to shop , again some difficult characters to come across . Bought some White goods in Morfa yesterday , microwave , free parking added to the ease of the shopping experience , in/out in minutes , job done . Like to think I can handle myself if an issue occured , but my body could not take a blade . | | | |
