For as much as we love Bristol, it is far from perfect with everyone having a personal gripe with the city.
There are some obvious aspects of Bristol which would annoy anyone, be it the traffic, the seemingly never-ending rise in house prices or even the battle to find a pint for less than £4 in the city centre. But, every person living within the city limits will have their own own personal dislike and one that they know most people would disagree with.

5. “Calling it the Bearpit when there are in fact...no bears” - Jonathan_Last
Yeah, fair point.
6. “The majority of personal vehicles should be banned from the city centre” - scareneb
They add: “The CAZ has done nothing to improve congestion. Parking on the pavement and on kerbs should be banned. Most second cars should not be eligible for a parking permit.”
7. “Hot air balloons are really boring” - Ebat1111
The Balloon Fiesta is still a flagship event for the city - and it’s free. But, they may have a point.
8. “I am glad Turbo Island is gone” - Hogwarts_Player
