The only question is - what will it be replaced with, if anything and will that look even worse. How about suggestions for other sites that need cleaned up. For a start, they could take down the "Edinburgh Crystal" signs next to Strathesk School and get rid of the old bookies shop next to Tesco but please ensure something is done with ...

The best chips I had were from the 'Anstruther Fish Bar', Anstruther - 10 out of 10, also a nice location to eat them sitting in the harbour. The worst I have had were from our very own 'Pennycook takeaway', 1 out 10 is probably being too generous, chips that looked like they had been floating in the frier for way too long with the ability to squeeze some of them and watch the ...

A pickup truck seems to have careered off the road just past the Roslin turnoff. I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if that stupid short bus lane had something to do with it Last Sunday a bus driver had the cheek to flash their lights at me, presumably because I was in his/her bus lane Midlothian Local Issues Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:30:50 GMT http://midforum.editboard.com/midlothian-local-issues-f3/accident-at-gowkley-moss-roundabout-t154.htm#1086 http://midforum.editboard.com/midlothian-local-issues-f3/accident-at-gowkley-moss-roundabout-t154.htm http://midforum.editboard.com/technical-issues-f6/problems-with-internet-connection-t78.htm Admin For the past few days my Internet connection has been flakey.

My ISP is Orange but when I tried a dial up connection with Ukonline I found the same problems It seems to be working again though. Just to rub salt in the wound I found that my ISP has decided to debit my account twice this month. When I rang them I must have been put ...

Someone opening a new shop in the precinct! Not, not a takeaway or a hairdresser - an actual shop!. And what's more, I honestly believe it has a good chance of success! It's a fishing tackle shop. Now, if you don't fish, you might not appreciate just how much fishing goes on around here. There's Edgelaw, Glencorse, Loganlea, that wee place near Rosewell; the Tweed's not far away..... But, if you need tackle, you have to travel to Edinburgh, Musselburgh ...

About time too I'd reckon given that the present one looks like its only still standing thanks to cobwebs and good luck. The only downside was the meeting being held in the Victoria Inn where I had headed for a few beers and not being a 'villager' wasn't too keen on sitting through it all, so ended up saving a few quid.. Not a bad night for a walk.
