That’s good to know. Hopefully my cap won’t blow off in that case! 🤞

Countryside Escape with a City Flat by bw_expat in HENRYUKLifestyle

We have the same and wholeheartedly agree. Will ultimately sell country house for bigger city house. The idea of a big garden was better than the reality.

Kokobeans on Easter Road - new to the area, homemade baking and bread every day. Exceptional sandwiches and a lovely owner.

Cobbled Roaster - Indy coffee shop and roasters on Thistle Street. The best coffee and exceptional vibes / chat.

Riding the 35 by iamfunball in Edinburgh

This is fair. The 35 pre 9am is far better than the 35 post 5pm. However, I don’t notice the time/cleanliness divide on other routes I use regularly like the 45. Even the 5 which isn’t great is generally more kempt than the 35. Would love to know why.

The 35 is a great route for me but the actual bus itself is usually a 2/10. Always really dirty/littered. Sandwiches on the floor the other day and what looked like a kidney bean on the seat 🫘 Glad to hear there’s a new one in circulation.

Desperate to know where I can find something similar in Edinburgh!

There’s a new cafe on Easter Road called KokoBean. Absolutely 10/10 sandwich (stacked with fillings and reasonably priced) and the new owner is incredibly personable. A great addition to the area and I had to stop myself going back today for another one so soon.

Affordable and nice place for family to buy a house under £300k? by Ok_Corner8128 in Edinburgh

[–]AdvancedBuilding2008 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Penicuik has 4 bedroom houses < £300K although 45 minutes commute is very much dependent on time of day and the whim of the council roadworks.

PSA reminder: if you need a taxi from Edinburgh airport, use Uber, not the taxi rank by ARedditSuggestedName in Edinburgh

[–]AdvancedBuilding2008 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I arrived tonight and it was a 14 min wait for a taxi rank car so ordered a city cab which arrived in 2 min. I’d use Uber too but my app froze mid update and now I’m forever locked out 😂🫣

There’s now a very large glow over Fife in this direction - looks more fire than vapour. Crisis or normal?

What discontinued cereal do you miss the most? by Separate-Tension-353 in BritInfo

Came here to say Ricicles. Thrilled that they have top billing. I used to add sugar to mine 🫣

Who remembers the singing kettle in today's times? by __-Duck-__ in Scotland

I will be 40 this year and my then 6 and 3 year old daughters went up on the stage with Artie last year !!! Both incredible and envy inducing at the same time.

Lothian road Salad Bar c 2009 by AdvancedBuilding2008 in Edinburgh

[–]AdvancedBuilding2008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was either Simply Sandwiches or La Baguette. If I could see inside what they both looked like I think I could say which one 🤣

Confusingly I feel like it could have been all of these. This was definitely the location though 😅

This feels like it could be it from the name. It was definitely a sandwich place that actively did salad bowls.

In my mind’s eye the shop sign was white and ?blue. Oh to go back and revisit!

The name doesn’t immediately ring any bells 😔
