I think the CCTV is a light on the tram stop. Of course there’s always the chance you were making a joke and it went right over my head. Quote

Hopefully , there's a couple of bars in their as platform 5 gets a bit busy particularly post match. Seems to be coming right out onto Dalry Road as well. Edinburgh council's crazy, you can build that, but 50 yards away my mate couldn't install UPVC double glazing as it wasn't "in keeping with the area" Quote

Most of them pretty ugly buildings. Quote

leginten Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Anyone else spend ages looking at the people in these fantastic photos trying to pick out long gone family members? I can get quite obsessive about it. Quote

I can get quite obsessive about it. I do all the time, there are so many places that we all spent so much time, it almost seems impossible that in the time we spent on the streets and places in Edinburgh that we weren't pictured once. I know I was pictured in my place in the north enclosure right at the tunnel one time as the team came out, I was also again in the paper when a bus hit the railway bridge and took off the roof at Newcraighall. Despite those I knew of there must have been many casual as well. Quote

Certain days you could book a meal on the boat. I never did it but people who went were impressed with the food but said you could hear the "doors" opening when it was time to dump the waste. Quote

Because you didnae need a road fund licence if it was parked off the street, why else would you do that on Niddrie Mains Road. But have somebody keep shoatie, bcause Big Blue Eyes is on the prowl and he has no had a summons in a while and the sergeant is oan his arse. Quote

What’s the tall building (spire and chimney?) in the far distance? Quote
