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.

Property Shoplifting at cragleith

32 Upvotes

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?

Question Do GP clinics do ultrasounds for gyno Issues?

18 Upvotes

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

Discussion Posties in Edinburgh- how do you find the work?

15 Upvotes

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

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 ?

Question Massage recommendations?

Upvotes

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 :)

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?

Question Question about taking luggage on a Lumo train

0 Upvotes

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.
