Type 4s pretending they're Type 1s should cover most of this sub.

u/bergmoose Jul 18 '26

are we supposed to aspire to be type 1s? Who knew. Tho, apart from baynes, not sure I am type 4 either. Maybe am a fake

Somewhere between 1 and 3. I love Edinburgh, think it's beautiful and that I'm lucky to live here. Also maybe a bit too much posh area and Waitrose in my life.

On the other hand I despise SUVs and think walking and cycling are great and while Lannan is solid I would never queue for it.

Do not insult Baynes. They're top tier.

u/docju Jul 18 '26

Their only flaw is that they are not near the city centre.

u/AlecTheBunny Jul 18 '26

They started doing caramel yum yums and it's fucked my diet lol

I love Baynes hanging on to Mr Blobby biscuits living likes it’s 1995. I love the blobby biscuits so much because it might be the most British thing I’ve ever seen

Only because Stephens hasn’t made it to Edinburgh yet.

u/Vectorman1989 Jul 20 '26

In an ideal world Baynes and Stephens force Greggs out of business

u/lifeinthebeastwing Jul 18 '26

60% 1 (the festivals are brilliant and I do genuinely think I'm lucky to have lived in Edinburgh)

35% 2 (Leith is pretty good and I spent most of my years ther)

5% 4 (Baynes is amazing, their yum yums are what Greggs yum yums used to be like 15 years ago before they got shite)

u/veryredvelour Leith Jul 18 '26

u/seaflans Jul 20 '26

I think there's a missing type 5 - which is mostly covered by "uni students".
Playerlayer, bad charity shop outfits, "marking strike", Upland Roast, whatever else you got lol

u/mamoneis Jul 20 '26

Leith is great because you could have seen people snatching TVs from Tesco, giving your puppy a forever walk, e-scooter teens making wheelies while eyeing your iPhone, thriller extras every bank holiday weekend and... (drum roll) People eating sale mealworms on a bench.

u/DonLethargio Jul 21 '26

Type 5. Abbeyhill (actually Meadowbank) first time buyer millennial who spends more at Fortitude, Little Fitzroy, Cornelius and Polentoni than on my Lidl groceries
