restaurants near me are all operating a reduced capacity and you cannot get table Thursday through Sunday. While eat out to help out was somewhat contradictory it really did seem to kick start going back to restaurants again not just for the month in operation, so, on reflection, probably one of the governments better moves.
I don't know if you think the numbers on Bristol postcodes are analogous to London tube zones or what, but BS6 is the nice bits. The trendy nice bits anyway. We don't live there tho
There's a lot of postcode snobbery in Bristol, to the extent that, for example, if you live on the "wrong" (BS10) side of Falcondale Road your house is probably worth a third less than if it were on the "right" (BS9) side.
The most hehsome thing is that there's a Facebook group called "BS9 mums".
It's interesting Guy. I don't know a lot about it, but I think historically the Council basically housed people (social housing, asylum etc) quite often by race. Bristol on paper is very diverse, but you could go to Uni there and work at a law firm there and barely ever come across any non-white people.
Indeed although I think it is as much to do with class than race. You can live is BS6, BS8 and most of B9 (combined a pretty large area) and barely be aware poor or working class people exist. I can think of no other British city with such a large almost exclusively middle class area
My sister used to live there and teach in a local infant school. She had a torrid time of it because hardly any of the kids had English as a first language, and tbf her Urdu could be better.
My overwhelming impression of Bristol is that it is very hilly.

Probably, also fewer people on public transport no doubt, but still.
Footfall in Cabot must be pretty much back to pre-Covid levels I reckon.

I guess the veganism, socialism bordering on anarchism and right-on cultural views protect Bristolians from the virus?

Yup. Stokes Croft is a Covid-free zone.

Judging by how many places we couldn't book a table at online for tonight, Bristol remains busy

Good? Or good luck? Although here it goes in that direction, with masks, restaurants half busy

For you? Good luck
For any normal person 'probably one of the Government's better moves'

Presumably - never been on it but I can just imagine the types of people on there.

Bristol is probably the most socially divided city in the UK, which is why postcodes are so important.

BS3 is the more realistic option for reasonably affluent young people without benefit of family wealth.
Don't know many youngish lawyers who can buy decent property in and around Clifton, Redland, Cotham etc solely on own income.
Even the "poorer" areas of Bristol are pretty racially segregated. E.g. Bedminster -overwhelmingly white, Lawrence Hill - high proportion of Somalis.
