Leith Walk has everything. Good and bad.

Those shops between the bottom of Leith Walk and Great Junction St.  

Do you mean the Kirkgate...

Leith certainly has us beat on black barber shops tbf.

Suppose I'm sort of forgetting Gorgies catchment area, gorgie road is a shitehole but when haymarket is a 5 minute walk from your doorstep it seems alright.

As I said I rarely ever go into actual Gorgie for anything apart from Sainsbury's.

Five minute walk to Shandon and Harrison Park though. Caley Sample Rooms food

polish deli's and halal shops.  

What's wrong with these likes?  quite liked the African butchers, the polish deli and the Indian store tbh

Do you mean the Kirkgate...

I always had the kirkgate pegged as the pedestrianised area past the statue and then further down.

I'm talking about the shops where you turn left at bottom of Leith Walk (shopping trolleys and that hanging up outside shop windows)  

[Del-icious]

The Kirkgate is the wee run down shopping area behind the big whale tusk thing.

Is the indoor bit still open?

Scott's talking about the shops past andersons etc.

Vape shops, African beauty parlours etc.

Was in at the bank in the Kirkgate at lunch today. The state of the people milling about at that time of day with no jobs to go to

Had a burger from him last week it was

The kirkgate needs razed. It was minging enough before that radge whale tusk went up.

[CritchSmile]

The Kirkgate's only legitimate use is for filming Trainspotting sequels.

[Del-icious]

What did they ever do with the queen vic statue that the whale replaced?

[CritchSmile]

Still there isnt it?

Says they tried to show it in England a few years ago but it was banned

[Del-icious]

It's a total hole. Might be up-and-coming (estate agent speak for "total hole"), but it's a long way from being a respectable place to live.

Forgot to respond to this.

Know he went to posh school but didn't have Acey down as a genuine snob cunt

[CritchSmile]

Acey tries to allude that he's from Cramond but he's from Drumbrae.

[Roger H. Sterling]

Is he the one that would move to Cramond if he won big on the Lotto?
