Can't believe I am going type this.. Politics West could actually be worth a watch this Sunday, with something about Bristol.. @SimsonPete doing a bit about the underground, & here's little bit of it in advance. I'm just off to have a lay down, to recover from the total shock.

The incomparable @SimsonPete has chosen his Bristol favourites. I can confirm that in more than a decade of this feature, nobody other than him has named a recycling centre among their five picks.
