I have always remained on the outside of this pub, fearing the semiotics. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19947#post-317756 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 21:10:31 +0000 gembo 317756@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was like totally in the ASZ at slateford. Left. Lane for turning left and like the right lane is for going straight on.</p> <p>A little blue polo SN04 XLR was driven down the left lane skipping all the cars in the right lane and stopped behind me. </p> <p>When the lights change the driver revved up and overtook me within the traffic lights then smashed into the bus lane on the edinburgh side of the ford where he had to like brake hard as there was a queue of traffic backed up. I asked him if he like knew he could not go straight ahead from the left lane and he said of course he decking knew.</p> <p>I took great delight in filtering this queue all the way into Edinburgh whilst Mr Dick remained outside the former CROSSKEYS pub - Like Schadenfreude </p>
