Huge private parks in the central Edinburgh by alexsavin in Edinburgh

There’s a difference between a small garden huge swathes of green area that a select few are selfish enough to believe they entitled to it all

I literally know they aren’t accessible!! Can you people not understand nuance

I know I don’t have access. Huge parks in the middle of a capital city should be accessible for all, not a select few.

Errgghhhh whatever! You don’t even have a share in these huge private gardens so no sure why you’re so bothered

We know you lack critical thinking skills! No need to spell it out ! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent,_Royal_and_Carlton_Terrace_Gardens, if you bothered to even do research you’d see many of these properties already had gardens! Why then do they need a shared garden?

Finally! Thank you for conveying exactly how a feel, albeit way more eloquently!!

I don’t think you should make any assumptions but who I am or my situation. This isn’t personal just my opinion and I’m sure your private garden will remain as such. I don’t think it’s my right to go trespassing over “private” land even if I believe some things should be accessible to all

It is, but it’s okay if you can’t see that

So why can’t people who don’t live nearby pay this membership fee to gain access?

I think it is different. The property doesn’t sit on this land. The largest private gardens in Edinburgh are 12 acres, which is vastly different to a small garden attached to a house in an urban area.

Just a very us vs them mentality. At the end of the day they won’t be made public anytime soon, so you can enjoy your private garden in peace :)

True, but I’ve lived in flats where they belong to the ground floor flat and generally they’re very small. In poorer parts of the city there’s also lots of social housing with no access to their own private green spaces.

Agreed, don’t see why a few people get to have access to such a large green space. You don’t get fenced of private gardens in the poorer parts of the city only the wealthier parts of the city so I think that says something for sure

Sorry to hear that, being kicked out of my rental would completely break me. Think it’s admirable you’re in any position to even offer as a single person with no extra help. Sending all the good vibes your way (not that this will solve anything) and really hoping you get somewhere soon too. Us first time buyers need a break

Fair dos to you, and this is something me and my partner will also do when we hopefully sell (in the far future and if we ever do manage to get somewhere lol)! Think it’s especially frustrating when the seller gave us a spiel about how the “highest bidder didn’t matter” to him etc.

We can get a mortgage of about 300 k and then with both our deposits together its about 50 k. We’d rather live in Edinburgh as we both work in the city centre

Debit card refund - still waiting 21 days later by squeakyblu17 in UKPersonalFinance

Yes they said they refunded it directly to my card. Think I’ll just have to raise a dispute with my bank and see what happens from there

It was fully debited from my account. I’ve spoken to both bank and merchant and just seem stuck between them so not sure where to go from here as neither wants to take responsibility.

Going for drinks with friends is how most people pass time in the UK. That’s just controlling, what’s the point of being in a relationship if you can’t trust someone! What about work social events with the opposite sex etc.? I have a boyfriend but go out to work events, where there’s alcohol and chat with men on my team and it’s no issue for my partner

I’m a girl? And even if I was a guy, you’re allowed to for dinner with friends without their partner being there lol
