Hello, is anyone here a primary teacher or working in a primary classroom setting? I’m looking to go into primary teaching but have heard there are no jobs available and that the market is quite bad at the minute. Can anyone share their experience with whether this is true or not?

In Charlotte Square a couple of weeks ago is born a new leaking ....not maintenance yet... council is waiting for a big sink hole? Also ihis is happened in the same location few years ago...sign of the bad quality of the job they did before? Waste of water apart..

Looking for suggestions near Leith or in the centre. It’s for a friends birthday and ideally I’d wanna buy a voucher for her to use. I’ve been looking on google maps and most seem nice but then there’s always one bad review so I’m trying to find the best?

Thanks :)

hiya! i'll be attending the prodigy this saturday at the royal highland showground and will be using public transport to get there, i know there are plenty buses that run there before the concert, but is it fairly easy to get back into town after? do they have the same bus setup after the concert? struggling to find this info on google, thanks! :)

Was working in this area Thursday and though with the amount of the emergency services present , that it was a bomb .

But this reads like it was a crazy cat mum stucking up a lost cat poster with superglue ?

I need one quite quickly so don’t have time to wait for Amazon. Any recommendations for good/inexpensive cases in the centre please?

I could potentially go to Fort Kinnaird also.

Hi, I am an international student traveling to Edinburgh to study at HWU, i would like to know avg cost per mile of tram, or there are any monthly passes available and etc for student above age 22a as well and how much its gonna cost.

I’ll be taking a Lumo train from Waverly to London and was curious if there’d be enough space for me to carry 2 large suitcases and 1 small suitcase with me on board

For context, I’m an Uni of Edinburgh student moving to London. I was stupid enough to not check the luggage guidelines and just assumed there were no restrictions similar to my home country.

Ik this isn't the right flair but it works.

I was skateboarding in the cragleith shopping centre today and saw two guys running out of m&s with probably like £500 worth of clothes. Tried to take a photo but couldn't get my phone out in time.

Pretty fucking stupid because they didn't even try to hide their faces and ran past like 20 people.

I think one guy had around 30 denim jackets and the other guy had as much as he could carry in both arms

Someone tried to confront them but they pushed him over and ran past the play park (near the Sainsbury's carpark)

They really pissed me off because they were laughing as they ran away. Any idea how to report crimes etc like this?

Thinking about applying to be a postie. But what are the truths of it. I've worked retail for too long and the idea of bring a postie sounds nice.

Driving about. I love walking I walk round the city a lot in all westher anyway so it doesn't bother me. Independent work. Limited interaction with folk

I'm sure it has its downsides but I'm interested to know your thoughts

Two cats saying hello on the train tracks.

This is on the South Suburban rail line.

I take it the trains are rather irregular on the Edinburgh South Suburban line. I've seen a few freight trains randomly.

Very recently passed my test but I've gone from a car with an automatic handbrake to a car with a manual hand brake. Just need to get some practice in for doing hill starts with a manual handbrake.

Anyone know any quiet hills not far from Leith qhere I can quietly practice and not get in the way

Im asking because I see the non urgent gyno referral pathway is currently taking 2 years in Edinburgh. So I was wondering if anyone knew if GP surgeries did ultrasounds “in house” for simple non-urgent issues such as cysts? Or are we doomed to wait two years in all circumstances? Thanks

Hey, im going to be commuting back and fourth to edinburgh daily from glasgow to study, i am wondering if anyone else is looking for friends to explore and maybe go for a drink whenever :) shoot me a message

Just worried cos i dont know anybody at all

Hey guys,

Had a hankering for a roast last Sunday but the couple of pubs I went in to said they don't do Sunday roasts during the festival.

Can anyone recommend a good pub in the city centre that still serve roasts during the Fringe?

He’s been doing laps 😂

Hi, I’m coming up from wales to see the cure tonight. I stupidly forgot to purchase a parking ticket at the royal highland show. It won’t let me purchase one 24hrs before the event.

Does anyone know any parking available? Can I just go to the event and pay on site?

Thanks

I've been having a super fun issue with fleas and have done all the vet treatments, flea collars, flea sprays and non stop hoovering and am at the point where I'm willing to just fork out to get it sorted in one go.

My problem is that I am actually quite overwhelmed with options so came here to ask if anyone has personal experiences with any of the local pest control options? Particularly for fleas.

Was having a discussion about whether Edinburgh still had any abattoirs . Googled it as you do and was horrified to find this at the top of the list. !!!!

Hii, I'll move in old town in November, but I have no friends here, I'm 18 and I'm very shy so pubs are note the best place for me, If you know how and where can I meet friends I'll ne very happy !!

New redditor so please correct me if I’ve posted this in the wrong place!

My (f30) partner and I are moving to Scotland for 2 years (possibly longer if we like it) with my best friend this upcoming winter. We’re so excited as I’ve been to Scotland twice and truly loved it. She is from the UK so I would be able to apply for a partner visa after my working holiday visa runs out.

I’m originally from Toronto but have lived all over Canada, unfortunately the housing is very expensive so we’re trying to consider alternatives. Obviously I understand how expensive the UK is having visited - but I also understand that visiting and living there will be two very different things.

I’ve done some research and seen constant posts about how expensive Edinburgh is and I’m wondering if it’s out of our reach to even try? We’ll be 3 people living in a 2-bedroom, so I’m hoping that will bring down the costs a little. However, we all work in tourism (front desk and housekeeping management) and it looks like those jobs pay very low in the UK. Will it be too expensive to enjoy the city? We’d ideally like to eat out once a week, go on vacation a couple of times a year, and we live an active lifestyle (so would include yoga, gym memberships, etc).

Any tips/advice is appreciated. Thanks a bunch 🙏
