  3. Trainers

    As we’re all highly fashionable individuals who would never dare own a cardigan or a Rover 95, what are we all wearing on wur feet this winter? Usually I’m a Clark’s Wallabees guy but I fancy a pair of nice leather trainers for the winter as a change. I’ve a pair of Patrick Liverpool but I’ve worn...

  5. Smoke Alarms.

    Anyone know why a smoke alarm continues to randomly go off despite there being no smoke or fire. The alarm in the living room keeps going off and then triggering all the other alarms in the house (kitchen, downstairs hall, upstairs hall) and it's doing my head in. The alarms are all connected to...

  15. Biggest consumer cons

    I’ll start with coffins. They charge thousands for something that you either burn or put in the ground. What a rip off, when I kick the bucket I don’t even want a funeral. Just dispose of my body and have a party to celebrate my life.

  17. Foot of the Walk Wetherspoons closing date.

    3rd November according to Edinburgh Live, being taken over as a Sports Bar, I doubt that the prices will remain the same. 😥 Quite a sore one for a lot of Leith's old timers.
