Beth Paige-Black Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/petition-temporarily-ban-cyclists-portobello-18744436 One of the problems of the computer decade is pop ups of women in undress when you're trying to access illegal football streams, another is mumsnet style petitions for trivial stuff like the need for a third Puffin crossing when there's another two perfectly fine pelican crossing within 500 yards and an excellent recently renewed wide path spanning beyond both existing crossings. But in Portobello we have a new Ebola, a Covid on wheels if you like whereby largely unemployed gentlemen are talking their life-frustrations by playing human skittles with weak older ladies. Bumping into them with their rubbered 21" wheels and infecting them with Covid-19. These woman can remember VJ day. These woman have wheel-based shopping trolleys. These women bingo. I was going to say these women built the Portobello to Get the f**k out of Edinburgh promenade but that would be wrong because these jobs back then would be the domain of the man which explains the slip in construction standards since they got the vote. I've known the petitioner Mrs Purves for many years on local road safety campaigns and she's excellent company, a great dresser, but more importantly an excellent supporter of tarmac for cars 'n' taxis. Please sign and save elderly lives and local businesses and other stuff. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to pitlochry, elie beach, North Berwick and St Andrews last month I edited that quick. Although I was unsure, me being new to the forum and all that...... Some good choices of escapetowns. One of the things I love about North Berwick is when you leave the harbour to the west the gradient ramps up along with the age demographics. Little stat for you is that there's 60% less cyclists per capita in North Berwick than Nairn. Might even be less post-Covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old money dog-eared Mercedes is probably the typical mode of transport there. Something the be-beige slacked gent can drive whilst still wearing his golf spikes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get allocated a time like the old course St Andrews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
