I WAS one of those kids...........in 1988.</p> <p>BUT the other week I was sitting in george square with a few other cyclist mates having a "wee chat" when the Janitor came and shooed us away. I was gobsmacked as I haven't had a chase off a janny for 20 odd years but just as I was about to give him the Vicky V's and run away one of our group (a student at the university) started to boar him to tears talking about the structural engineering properties of the new building they have there and the janny just walked away shaking his head. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1305#post-12012 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:54:47 +0000 SRD 12012@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The kids who skateboard in George Square on Friday (and other) afternoons have made my life miserable for years. Thought it would stop when my office moved from southside to northside, but no...they moved too. Suppose the bikes are slightly less noisy, but I am not sympathetic to this "There aren’t many people around among the university buildings" which totally ignores anyone inside trying to get work done. Sorry to sound unreconstructed, but these kids are a PAIN. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1305#post-12008 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:05:49 +0000 chdot 12008@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/life-style/real-lives/doing-backflips-the-kids-go-aahh-it-s-like-i-m-a-rock-star-1.1051398" rel="nofollow">http://www.heraldscotland.com/life-style/real-lives/doing-backflips-the-kids-go-aahh-it-s-like-i-m-a-rock-star-1.1051398</a> </p>
