Obviously I thank bus drivers when I get off, but does anyone else think that those people who say “Thank you driver” are a bit odd? Also I can't think of another situation where people do something similar.

It only sounds weird to me because I'm not a character in a Jane Austen novel. But i always do, and always will, say, "Cheers, drive!"

So instead of being in a Jane Austen novel you are in an Austin Powers film.

Was Austin Powers Bristolian? I'd say i need to rewatch those films, but i really don't want to

He himself was generally “London” so about as Bristolian as you. But I wasn't pinning you down to being specifically him if you don't want to.

How dare you! "About as Bristolian as you", indeed.

Ok based on relative distance you are approximately 60% more Bristolian

But my distance to Bristol is 0!

I didn't say i was. I said I'm a Bristolian. Of, if not from.

Noun form is native. Adjective is of/related to.

I thank anyone who’s provided me with any sort of service. Weird not to.
