    Courier companies which use self-employed drivers.
    I would extend that to all companies that use self employment, when the worker is anything but, as a means of reducing overheads.

    Completely agree.

    On a similar note imo Companies over a certain size shouldn't be allowed to use zero hours contracts. In my line of work I see people losing out on properties they want to live in as it causes problems with referencing.

    It is a good idea for small independent companies to bring in extra help when they can afford it but it's being abused by some massive companies.

    Saughton Road North is set to shut in stages for 6 months as well. Something to do with Scottish water. One of the streets on Leith Walk is now no entry except for cycles.
    Drum Brae Hill is an absolute joke this morning. Im assuming that's because of Saughton Road North being closed.

    And at the bottom of the hill, I've just seen a sign saying Haymarket Terrace is going to be closed for 6 months starting early next month, all traffic into town to be diverted round Magdala Crescent.

    I'm going to try another route to work.

    Yeah it's a right pain, I stay in Corstorphine and drop the missus off at Forresters before heading into Leith, long queues this morning even on side roads.

    Probably better trying another city. Driving in Edinburgh is just a joke these days.

    People who let their kids run free in the supermarket.

    People in general, really.

    Locks that have been fitted upside-down meaning you have to turn them the "wrong" way.

    Anderlecht were pish.

    It's disappointing for us, in that, when they're away in the Champions League a few days before we play them you hope to get a wee advantage with the Celtc players being knackered from chasing the game. They didn't have to, at all.

    That's a load of rubbish.

    Whatever genius thought it was a good idea to start resurfacing works on Leith Walk 3 days after approval was granted to extend the tram lines.

    Spend a fortune to resurface a street that is going to be dug up again in the very near future. No wonder the council is skint.

    When you go for a slash and the urine jet decides to come out at an improbable angle (normally when you've been invited to somebody else's house) - cue wads of sodden bog roll and pishy hands.

    Lazy barstewards who don't replace the bog roll when they use the last of it, or those who leave one or two squares on the tube.

    No signal on your mobile! And it always seems to be when you need to make an important call

    With todays current technology there should be zero "no service" areas in the UK. They can make radio transmissions from space send pictures from Mars etc but they can't get mobile phone signals everywhere in Britain....
