Im in St.Ps and Easton daily, always got mad love for here and from here, and im a half latino whiteboi.. Always been treated like im family in Pauls and East, been gettin my lineup and braids done here for the last 10 years or so. Only problems i've ever had in Bristol (cos of the life i used to live) have been with other whiteboys n older crackhead white dudes, NEVER with a brotha / sister. Grew up around these ways and still out here nearly every day, and im a 6'6 "white" dude with gold teeth n braids n full-body tattoos 😅 so it might be a different experience for new people but like I said, never had anything but love in the hood.. Same as any city / country, dont act entitled or like a dickhead or bring mad attention / drama and you're gonna be good... Pauls / Eastons vibes in the sun are UNMATCHED in Bristol, everytime I roll through I always get the O.Gs shoutin out wavin n dappin me up etc, cos i been round there so long all the old-heads got funny ass names for me like "Sean Pale" (even lighter / white sean paul + the braids) or "Barry Lhite" instead of Barry White cos my voice deep as HELL n im "Light" as F 🤣 Love it here man, one the main reasons I aint left yet is the love shown out here. Dope video Unc!
Another reason I probably get mad love out here is cos im actually half carribean believe it or not (even if i don't 'look it' 😅) Mums venezuelan / puerto rican dads english haha
Used to love Bristol in the summer, not the same now but the carnival was amazing back in the day up until like 2010. I saw that Nia Archives outdoor gig the other week the vibe seems to be coming back
Every time I am in Bristol I love to come to St Pauls, I was àt Glyn's Cafe two weeks ago, I had some mighty fine Caribbean food, Bristol is a great place to be for me
I visited Bristol for 1 day a few years back. An Australian on holiday in Wales. And Wales was beautiful. When you don't live there you just see bits over 8 hours, and not knowing it's history your senses get hit by waves of information. Hell I knew nothing of a Caribbean influence till seeing this vid. And like many assumed that the stone buildings, streetscapes and historic monuments described fully the Bristol I was in. And here we see a lot more to Bristol. Just looking at that menu and seeing you guys eat, I wanted to jump on a plane right away to experience those tastes and smells. I did view a lot of truly beautiful architecture across the city and walked that famous Suspension Bridge. But when I looked down those 75 metres to the water below, I saw where the wharves were. Where people were bought and sold, where people's futures were decided and 100% would never see their homes again, It puts a totally different perspective on how all that architecture came about and who paid for it. Not the rich traders. It was the black slaves themselves whose lives and deaths gave Bristol it's perceived wealth. Knowing Bristols long history of trading in human lives I wonder how many living there know, or even care about this. The fact that the white wealthy were enthusiastic about shipping black Africans through the port, as a commodity, an item, a thing. A thing with little value or purpose, to be used and thrown away. It reminds me of what we see the UK government doing today. Turning a blind eye to death and destruction by a people, on a people. The outcome is for profit. For land, for power, for control, but also for sea views. The disgust I had of the English disregard for slaves shipped through Bristol, Liverpool and elsewhere affected me deeply. And I thought that my visit some 7 years ago was to hear of something that would never happen again. It doesn't have to be slaves dying in transit or on plantations. It equates to innocent people having to face indiscriminate bombing, to having their water and electricity turned off, to having their roads destroyed, hospitals, schools, government services inoperable. But above all to be starved, not just on ships to the New World, but in their own homes, in their own rubble, in their own refugee camps and in their tents. Starvation by a people on a people. The UK has a long history of siding with the worst that humankind can produce. As it's doing now. The shame of Bristol and Liverpool lives on. Death of people without power or a voice, because selling commodities of war and more death is what the UK does so very effectively.
"The Lane"- Franklyn Lane. Joins onto Franklyn Street. My Childhood. No Facebook/X/Twitter and any other "social media" to corrupt your mind . Never had any issues. Times change. We used to close off the street and have street fairs. Everyone knew everyone. Total respect. And now, people dont even know their neighbor. Sad.
Been living in Bristol for 6 years, 3 years in St Paul's on two different streets, never had any problems, if you gonna look for a trouble, you don't have to look for too long, like in any town anywhere... Personally can't complain at all 😉 don't know why is called one of the most dangerous areas in Bristol, there is few areas much worse than St Paul's definitely.
Yes! Tea and crumpets! Just seen your video with Backpacker Ben! I'm from Hull, it was voted shi**est city for a long time, improved now. Tottenham looks pretty nice!
Man yes bro massive shout out man I yoused to go college in sent Paul's in the 90s and my anti owned frontline videos down there and my other anti lived there to I do believe my nan did as well at some piont in her life
definitely has a reputation but then that being said most area's in Bristol have a rep, there is a general attitude here in Bristol treat people how you like to be treated and you will get what you give simple as that, as for the drugs and crime anywhere in the UK or even Bristol has that culture, im Bristol born and breed live all over the city and hands down the few years i spent in st paul's was one of the best community's i have ever lived in
Did you just point towards Brunswick square referring to it as Ghetto & then point to Broadmead as posh? Broadmead is terribly run down & even the modern Cabot circus has suffered from declining footfall with many empty shops. Brunswick has always been the home to top professionals, a really affluent little enclave 🤑🧡
The reason why a lot of British people feel disconnected with their country is because so many other cultures are coming here and replacing ours, we can't even fly our own flag in places without being arrested
@@Mayhem69485Just because you put 'lol' and laughing emojis doesn't mean you're right. Many areas in England have been dominated by other cultures, for example the area I live is mostly Muslim now. And there's literally video evidence of English people being arrested for flying our own flag
You should go to brookside in Telford. Or Woodside or Sutton Hill. Some pretty wild counsel estates. Brookside I think if you google it was ome of the most crime ridden areas in England at ome point.
Everywhere’s got its good and bad some places have more than others coming from London to the Midlands where I live now it’s tiring putting up with jokes like do you got a knife on you of course you do your from London 🙄 there’s more regular people in the hood than there is gangsters but that’s what the media’s gonna focus on and those who have an agenda are gonna focus on.
u do realise crack is the literal exact same drug as coke righ? if police tested a lump of crack it comes back as cocaine. theres 0 diffrence just the form of consumption
id luv to live st.pauls bristol it looks & sounds like how london used to be in the 70s,80s & early 90's (ALL CARIBBEAN BLACKS) no africans lol - was much better them days!!
I talk how I wanna talk. I was born and raised in London UK from Jamaican parents and if you don’t like my tone of voice or my accent, then that’s your problem. Because I grew up in the community where there’s a lot of Caribbean , Africans , Asians and Hispanics So we got our own tone of how we say stuff and if you don’t like it as I said before 😂😅🤣
