A sausage roll is a distinct entity in greggs. Maybe it was roll and sausage? And became roll n sausage? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=4#post-115472 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 22:21:04 +0000 chdot 115472@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"is there a CCE thread about it?"</p> <p>You have to ask?...</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9345" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9345</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=4#post-115469 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 21:46:13 +0000 lionfish 115469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the awesome photo Arelicat!

A piece n jam or a roll n sausage. No vowel. In Greggs there would be no other way of reliably being served a morning roll with a sausage unless you asked for a roll n sausage. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=4#post-115155 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:24:05 +0000 TractorFactory 115155@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPOY1gRdDpU"><em>Garçon means boy!</em></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=4#post-115154 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:21:04 +0000 kaputnik 115154@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's fairly straight forward.</p> <p>"<em>Whityehaeinpal?"</em>"<br /> "<em>Un roll en saucison, sil vous plait Garçon, cheers pal, eh</em>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=4#post-115153 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:07:43 +0000 chdot 115153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm more confused now. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=4#post-115152 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:06:17 +0000 kaputnik 115152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>roll on xxx</em></p> <p>think of it as <em>roll en bacon</em>.

Loads of tour buses and the like, and a few cars of people who realise they can actually go that way in the morning and don't want anything holding them up.</p> <p>I'll bet if pedestrianisation were suggested the traders would complain about loss of trade. Some anyway. The vocal ones. Despite there being ono parking on the street, and presumably the money for the traders in the bit that DOES get closed see their takings increase when it's shut during the Fringe. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=3#post-115056 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:28:35 +0000 DaveC 115056@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I agree whole completely ruggtomcat, they should only allow deliveries out of hours. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=3#post-115050 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:03:25 +0000 ruggtomcat 115050@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh and I recon they should pedestrianize the whole mile, its a no brainer.

The one on the corner opp the war memorial is loose and the one directly outside is missing all together. </p> <p>This morning the vans got around the parking restrictions (they were re-painting the yellows) by parking on the pavement itself, technically wide enough but Tarquin was not pleased when he came to set up his stall.</p> <p>Ahh, street life! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=3#post-115031 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:44:50 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 115031@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<em>If I got a pound for every time I was asked that...</em>"</p> <p>You'd have a pound? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10136&page=3#post-115017 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:58:43 +0000 lionfish 115017@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks everyone :D Leith's ride had 10 people on (including 2 councillors).
