'Mostly flat' (7-10ft elev.) and 0.3 miles.

My only worry is that it ends at the fit of the walk, and there's many pubs heading up to London Road where I'll get the bus. Don't want to pick the kids up from school absolutely steaming!

Guess they could probably find their own way home.

They're all at the foot. Easy to walk around.

Have I missed something? You back in Scotland for good, Pondlife?

If you're wanting an extra stroll, go up Leith Walk and head to Robbies. Cant see you fancying many of the gentrified boozers on the way tbh.

Welcome home

Th meet up with pondy before the Halloween derby

What you up to today Mak? Should meet him for a pint.

Don't go to the old cameo which is now the bartologist or some shit.

Went in the other day, staff all in top hats and table service. Groups of folk running about the place playing some sort of treasure hunt took longer to get my bill for a pint than drink it. Terrible.

Old man with flat cap and mullet swearing at his flip phonw every time he opens it. ' fuck the lot a yies' was the last I overheard at ToS.

That old.dwvil.called love on the jukebox and racing on both tellys, of course.

Was thinking about the Village at Pitt Street before Mogwai - is that place any good?

Decent boozer.

Lord Nelson, just up from it, is good to go too.

I'm more of a fan of the Lord Nelson. They've Moretti on tap.

The bursd has to work last minute and I'm having to take the boy. Is that an arsehole move for other folk? He's 7, likes his Maiden, Priest etc, so I reckon he'll enjoy it, but just wondering if there's a general consensus that it's a dickish thing to do?

Can't say it's ever bothered me seeing kids at gigs, but people are funny about shit like that.
