Ok, I've not gone mad. Folks here in Bristol do indeed speak a form of English that is quite different than any I've heard before. As I said in my previous post, I had to have the clerk "translate" for me when I was ordering Pizza delivery. I could not understand the person on the other end.
Before retiring I did some iNet surfing and found out that Bristol UK indeed has its own accent. Well, nearly every part of the UK has one, but here it is called "Bristolian" or "Bristol speak"
Listen for yourself.
