Edinburgh ...aaaarrrggghhh !!

[murraymints]

Had to go in to Princes Street today, nightmare, the world his wife and next door neighbour is here....no one can speak English and all are incapable of moving on a pavement without stopping for no reason and causing pedestrian pile up !..if you really must gawp at the castle every ten seconds....cross the road and walk that side....I really need to get to marks !

[murraymints]

This should be in CB ....sorry...wee kindle keys big fingers..and....I'm STRESSED ! Lol...

[gingejbee]

No one can speak English - including the Scots.

[murraymints]

I was in the toon this morning, at the Western General (nowt serious).
I said to her indoors how quiet the place seemed, even got parked near where we were going. Your experience might explain it murraymints. :)

[murraymints]

Douglas..quite an achievement getting parked at the western ! Having spent the last year camped out at the cancer unit with dad that's no mean feat ! Hope all's well with you ! X

[murraymints]

Where there's a castle there's a grockel...or million.. !! ..they say Edinburgh quadruples in festival time. And the rest !!

[plowter]

Princes Street is a nightmare with all the tourists, traffic cones and festival twits. The high heidyins should have banned traffic and extended the pavements into a terrace. Would have a lovely view of the castle as you tuck in to some deep fried Irn Bru.

If you have to go up town, better to go along George Street or Rose Street and cut down. Only way to preserve your sanity.

[murraymints]

Plowter..you one of us ? I tend to scoot Doon rose st lane...get into marks, jenners by the back door....had to stop at milnes for refreshment! Lol..

[murraymints]

Gie ye a laugh plowter..I was parlying in French with a visitor outside milnes at a table...when I asked to pay I was asked....in euros or pounds ? .
milnes for gawds sake !!

[plowter]

MM, yup. I need to take a wander into town tomorrow afternoon. May feel the urge to nip into Milnes for a beer. They do take euros and it really confuses the Americans! Can't imagine the Port O Leith taking euros.

[murraymints]

Try that at the boundary bar or Leith cavern ! Lol....how many edinbru folks here ?

[ToraToraTora]

look on the bright side, you'll have "independence" soon then there'll be no one about!
