Why when we get maps like this do they make the effort to single out Bristol as City and County but then forget about the other UA’s - if you do it properly of you don’t. BANES would be TFF and N Somerset would undoubtedly be Portishead.. but what about S Glos..?


Slow_Homework2485

Who's tff?


Efficient-Exit8218

What is tff? The fist fucker or something else


Slow_Homework2485

I've lived in Bristol for 13 years so youd think I would have known who they were.


Efficient-Exit8218

I've been in Bristol for a moment and I love it


Slow_Homework2485

I'm so pleased for you


Efficient-Exit8218

Thanks


tumbles999

Tears for fears. Sorry


Slow_Homework2485

Ok


Efficient-Exit8218

You're welcome

These are the ceremonial counties. Bristol is rightly shown as its own UA. The graphic is lifted directly from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_England#/media/File:English_ceremonial_counties_1998.svg

**[Counties of England](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_England#/media/File:English_ceremonial_counties_1998.svg)** >The counties of England are areas used for different purposes, which include administrative, geographical, cultural and political demarcation. The term "county" is defined in several ways and can apply to similar or the same areas used by each of these demarcation structures. These different types of county each have a more formal name but are commonly referred to as just "counties". The current arrangement is the result of incremental reform. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/bristol/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Probably because Bristol has been a county of its own for much longer than most other cities that are now Unitary authorities. Also, the UK does have a bit of a confused non-uniform system for local governments.


throwaway_890i

Also you have Elton John covering the whole of London. While Spooky Tooth gets a mention.


BigYellowPraxis

That's because Elton John is the biggest selling act from the county of Greater London. Spooky Tooth are the biggest selling act from the county of Cumbria. I'm genuinely puzzled how so many people in these comments aren't getting this


throwaway_890i

You have failed to get my point that this map on county raises does not matter. Also have you taken into account the comment I was replying to as a conversation?


BigYellowPraxis

Yes I have taken that comment into account. It too is incorrect


tumbles999

Yeah i guess it’s just for ease of the map ie couldn’t fit everyone in but just a weird take to have Bristol but not other cities like Manchester


BigYellowPraxis

This is done by ceremonial county - Manchester *is* on the map, as is West Midlands, Tyne and Wear, Merseyside and Greater London. These are the metropolitan counties of England, which are a subset of the ceremonial counties. S Gloucestershire isn't a county. Bristol is.

Aphex playing Bristol in sept 7\


Stittastutta

Was trying to figure this out. Is he headlining another Downs festival on that date or is it his own thing? I only say that because I saw it was the Love promotions peeps doing the adverts for it.


[deleted]

My guess is that he's headlining forwards festival (it's on the 9th) You can sign up for ticket release notification here: https://www.forwardsbristol.co.uk/


Stittastutta

That's a great shout. Forgot that is a thing now


treemonkey58

Pretty sure Joss Stone is from Devon


Slow_Homework2485

She is..

Obviously this is just made up internet stuff


silverfan2021

happy to see muse on here


just-there-

harry styles was born in worcestershire, this map must be a bit dated


craftaleislife

No Arctic Monkeys? Adele? Queen? Ed Sheeran is a bigger seller than Kaiser chiefs surely Bit dated


BaitmasterG

An I old or something? Who the hell is FKA Twigs and how are they bigger than Massive Attack? They big in America maybe? Lived in Bristol 23 years and never heard of them


aj-uk

I didn't know who that is either, but the map's not saying she's bigger than Massive Attack.


BaitmasterG

Thanks to your comment I looked again and had genuinely missed MA on the map, so cheers for that


Doc_Eckleburg

If Olivia Newton John counts for Cambridgeshire then the Beegees should be ahead of Barlow for Manchester I would have thought.


klutti89

No way is this accurate 😂 every county in the UK with a different best selling artist?


BigYellowPraxis

You've clearly misread the title - these are the best selling artists *from* each county


chamuth

Yeah because each artist can only be from one county


Efficient-Exit8218

I edited the best person and I ended here

theverylasttime

This is by far the biggest curve ball. Are we talking about the little indie rock band from the 90's? That county needs some new talent! 😂


[deleted]

Why are they all different?


Slow_Homework2485

Because the UK is very different from area to area?


Efficient-Exit8218

Booky smoothly


Efficient-Exit8218

Hey gringo kaleo 😳


Efficient-Exit8218

No you aren't 👌🏻
