Subversive Behaviour in Bristol!

Joolsin · 29/10/2023 20:37

This post is tongue-in-cheek, really, but I am in Bristol for the weekend and so far, I have:

  1. Bought Glinner's book in Waterstones - asked an assistant, who slightly flinched, for it as I couldn't find it. Happy to see that it was on the shelf with the cover facing out!
  1. Wore a small suffragette pin on my coat.
  1. Had a Tunnocks Tea Cake with my coffee - gasp!!!

The sisterhood on here know of some cracking lawyers!

Any second now, I'm sure!

Ma'am, have you had anything to think in the past 24 hours?

Eek, m'lud, I've been thinking almost continually - am I a baaaaaad person/woman/cervix-haver (delete as appropriate)?

I stickered portaloos there last year, whilst at the most rainbowest friendly concert ever!

Joolsin,

OMG!! You posted a pic of a Tunnocks Tea Cake from your phone, after everything else? Echelon will certainly have passed your details on to Special Branch by now and they'll be monitoring your phone!

I went to Bradford-on-Avon the other week with my daughter and spotted a woman with a suffragette colours tartan scarf, walking with a woman with a suffragette colours knitted hat - I wanted to say something encouraging but I wasn't brave enough. Wiltshire Libraries still haven't got a copy of Tough Crowd in, despite my ordering weeks ago (I've also paid my reservation fee!)

WitchyWitcherson · 30/10/2023 13:57

Tell a lie! I've just seen it's available to me, as of today! I was starting to suspect foul play 😜

Dahlia444 · 30/10/2023 15:12

Ha - well done. I spotted Tough Crowd also facing outwards in Waterstones and was surprised/pleased.

ZestFest · 30/10/2023 15:17

Oh well done you. I live about half an hour away from Bristol and just fear I would combust with rage upon entering the city. My poor DH works with a notorious TRA there. I don't know how he manages it.

Ooooh, I also spotted an Adult Human Female sticker on the level crossing sign, in Bradford on Avon.

Haven't been there but I do travel round the country a fair bit.
I visited the library in Hebden Bridge earlier this year
It was a Sunday, so closed, but I did enjoy the windows...

Maybe it was them! There's also a historic "suffragette house" in nearby Batheaston, not sure if you've spotted that! 😊

There were a lot of rainbowy flags about and rather a lot of blue-haired young 'uns, but nothing I couldn't handle! Your poor DH, does he spend his working days biting his tongue?
