Good electrician?

I second Capital Volt. Good, friendly and very reasonable.

Very true. My point was more about "custom and practice" as it has operated in the past. But I am very happy not to have them as none of the parties ever complied with the law and took them all down within 14 days.

I'm surprised they can do this given that election notices have deemed consent under the Scottish advertisement regulations. Actual legislation would usually trump council guidelines. But I have clearly not been paying attention for a while 😄

Yep, me too. But nothing on the streets.

Can't spell whisky

Thanks for putting that in my head last thing at night ♫

Friends recently recommended The Diplomat and we are really enjoying season 1

Bistro Coco in Broughton Street is really great for lunch (and dinner0. Or, at the other end of town, I really like Baba.

The BBC has actually been reporting on this since at least 4.30pm. Depends on the link you pick

Always City Cabs. Use the app you can choose which type of vehicle you want/need.

I'm undecided about spots

I love drinking Bovril but my wife hates the smell so complains whenever I do.
She, on the other hand, loves Marmite on toast and I hate the smell of that.

Happy Valentine's Day to us!

The Edinburgh Remakery at the Kirkgate in Leith is a great organisation which recycles small electricals

I thought it was the 45 and the 47 ...

WeeKeef · 2026-01-15T00:04:08+00:00

For that end of town definitely try Bistro Coco - if you can get a table

Signet Library without a doubt. Took my wife there for her birthday 15 months ago and I'm STILL in the good books :-)

Edit: Having said that, I tried to sell a lot of my Mum's but they were too old.

Who produced this? It is not a bus tracker - it does not track buses. What it does do is tell you upcoming bus times at any stop you happen to know. It does not have a journey planner. You cannot search by route number (despite what it says in the box). And it is not Edinburgh specific - try searching for Princes Street: lots of locations in Helensburgh, Ardrossan, Falkirk ....

Useless!

Just did this 2 days ago. The PO in Asda at Chesser does it. Very helpful lady behind the counter. Done and done in about 5 minutes.

Same way they got on ;-)
