The Bristol accent is nowadays thought unremarkable:
consult old maps,
'Bristol' was named 'Bright Stow',
the 'Bristol' accent lost the first hard vowel sound and added a slurred 'L' to the end.
The GWR and the M4 corridor has pretty much wiped it out now,
same as the Berkshire Burr one of my Reading-based customers, (from the early 90's), had.
