[mushroom25]

City of Bristol Mayor George Ferguson calls the practice of fitting Love Locks to a bridge in Bristol Harbour "a menace"

//If you've going to express your love, do it in a way that isn't going to cause a menace. Let's think of a Bristol way of doing it.//

my mind is boggling - what could possibly be a "Bristol Way" of expressing love?

[treetops68]

A bit of rope and some sort of sailors knot, perhaps?

[stewey]

That reminds me that my father used to use that term quite a bit: "Let's make it ship-shape and in Bristol fashion."

[treetops68]

That's a golden oldie, stewey, I haven't heard it for years.

'In' is superfluous

Padlocks are romantic? :-/

[DaisyNonna]

A clove hitch?

[treetops68]

Daffy6543 - The BDSM fraternity seem to think so!!:-)

DaisyNonna - A Bowline perhaps? Lol.

[Wharton]

I can think of 2.

[stewey]

How about the Bristol knot? Any fly-fishermen/women around?

[treetops68]

No, all the fishermen around here fish for fish!!:-)

"Let's make it ship-shape and in Bristol fashion."

Is that in the Kuma Satra, stewey ?.

[stewey]

Well, that puts a different angle on things doesn't it?:)

[treetops68]

More like Three Men in a Boat I should think ,tonyav.

[bibblebub]

is a kiss curl like a love lock but with tongues?

[tonyav]

Ohhh, I know all about ''Three Men In A Boat, treetops, the writer came from my home town.

[stewey]

No, Tony; that would be "Masula shape and Calcutta fashion.":)

[tonyav]

LOL, how silly of me, stewey, your correct.

[DaisyNonna]

As long as it is not a sheepshank. Nothing romantic about that.

[tonyav]

I find a reef knot quite romantic, Daisy.
