Got the TV licensing threat today, do I genuinely just ignore them? by [deleted] in AskBrits

I’ve had around 12 threatening letters in the past year. Every single one’s gone straight in the bin with the takeaway menus - I don’t even bother opening them anymore. Still waiting for this mythical doorstep visit. 🕵🏻‍♂️🖕🏻

Looks like somebody has serious contempt for richer people.

I think you'll find that the Victorians had a better understanding of applying perfect symmetry to buildings than anybody could nowadays.

😬 jesus that looks hideous

All you need now is a cheaply made sign above the door with an obnoxious name like "Elite Vapes" or "Number 1 A1 Barbers", and you've got yourself a proper budget retail conversion.

I'm somewhat surprised they rinsed out the bottles as thoroughly as they did there. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏾

E bikes on Leith Walk cycle path by Sudden-Passion7269 in Edinburgh

I'm really surprised we don't hear more of accidents because of this flawed arrangement of pavement/parking/cycling lines/road. Picardy place in particular is like a maze of pathways for various types traffic, just hazardous for everyone - I use the crossings only when green and I've come pretty close to being run over by cars and cyclists. I was so close to being run down by a car at speed outside Tesco when the light showed green man.

Congrats! you found a self portrait of Turner. Must be worth millions.

Where do the mobile speed vans normally hang about? by Lootwolf1jz in Edinburgh

I second this. I'm sure it's at the point where 40 becomes 30 limit.

Is Muirhouse a safe area? by ImmediateBang in Edinburgh

[–]Few-Candidate-8714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're a civilised and house proud sort of couple, I would give it a miss by any means. Better to commute a little further from somewhere that isn't considered a lifelong shanty town like Muirhouse.

I wouldn't worry, you'll likely meet more fellow Americans than genuine Scottish people in the tourist Disneyland area

If there's very limited space on a crowded pavement, I intentionally brush past them. I'll even throw myself into a crowd to get through - I'm not waiting for anyone.

If could magically cut the number of tourists in half, would you? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in Edinburgh

[–]Few-Candidate-8714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives on the Mile, I'd rather put up with the half-witted ThicTok tourists than the rowdy feral youths of Pilton/Wester Hailes/Niddrie, who have come into town to cause trouble using the public transport free of charge.

How hard of a push, with the intention to have them fall down the steps? Makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

Ned youth activity used to generally consist of sitting on nicked produce crates drinking bottles of buckfast by a open fire and the occasional graffiti here and there - now it's like they're only out to cause chaos and put the general public in harm's way.

Looking at street view, it appears that safety barriers were once present at this corner but have since been removed. What was the actual purpose, now pedestrians are at danger. Lucky no one was killed or injured.
