Bristol Ground

Why doesn't Bristol ever seem to make use of a ground frequency?

I find it extremely annoying to be on a two mile final waiting for a 'pretend Nigel' to finish chatting on the tower frequency while I'm waiting for a landing clearance. This happens alot and the tower frequency always seems to be occupied more by ground calls than anything else. What if someone needed to get a mayday call out?

Staff shortages? Training? Costs?

Just get it sorted out I think. Any opinions?
