Jason has raised unicycling to serious international levels plus charity work too.

Anonymous,
The answer to your question is the local Inspector:

I checked myself on Friday and, although there were cars with the essential user permits on double yellow lines, none were particularly badly parked on a corner. As you may know, this issue has long been a source of friction in the area. I will get the up to date situation from

Cameron, who do we contact in the Police to report dangerous parking at junctions around the Sick Kids by those with Essential User permits?

Certain vehicles are frequently parking all day on yellow lines, blocking line of sight at junctions. Hatton place is particularly badly affected - even though there is plenty of space on a little further up the roads.

I would argue that it's debatable wether or not a hotel is the absolute best in the country. I suppose that you can grade on service and quality of accomodation. When it comes to scenery and local facilities and attractions though it's hard to grade on the individuals interests.

Come on folks. If you are going to keep me right can you just get your act together and give me simple, consistent instructions.

No, you were right the first time - ignore what he said! To infer is to deduce form something. Tsk!

An excellent hustings, brilliantly chaired. Word on the streets is that Cameron Rose and Gordon Murdie were outstanding so it's just a question of which way round 1st and 2nd votes go!

Enjoyable evening conducted with courtesy.

This monstrosity should have been demolished.
Instead, it was 'listed' by Historic Scotland!!

Happy to meet for a coffee sometime for you to explain what you are thinking of.

I have been reading some of your online material.

Maybe we should think of doing things differently. Look at how thing work in countries where utility cycling is common and learn from them, there is much to learn.

Thanks for your comment - and the little barb.

Colin, Joe and colleague were great today.

I'm not sure how you know Enterprise standards would be worse. What with contractually guaranteed improved street cleanliness, additional services, apprenticeships which are now lost forever - all at a significantly lower cost to the taxpayer, your assertion is not persuasive. :-)

I believe it was 3 street cleansing staff Depot from Craigmillar Depot, not 'bin men', that helped us with the clean up. These guys kept us right and ensured our safety; doing the dangerous bits and the heavy lifting, they did and always do a wonderful job. Much better than Enterprise could ever do. Thank you.

Thanks for the correction - but though that may be official terminology, common usage trumps it in this blog :-)
