Given the lack of enthusiasm I am not planning on making contact to ask about tomorrow, even though the weather forecast is actually looking quite promising. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369421 Tue, 25 Jul 2023 20:22:07 +0000 gembo 369421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The coffee shop bit was there tonight.</p> <p>Basically no need for the white van today in terms of running the shop.</p> <p>Owner could have scooted in in a scooter or whatever. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369409 Tue, 25 Jul 2023 12:13:44 +0000 gembo 369409@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was opened today.

Just an idea. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369388 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 17:29:00 +0000 gembo 369388@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah yes sometimes the car remains but sometimes it isn’t there just the van, had Dr bike at it a few weeks back. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369387 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 15:52:28 +0000 neddie 369387@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not the green caravan itself that's the problem, it's the owner's (or staff member's) car that's parked next to it - free parking all day everyday, just for them. It also encourages others to do the same. Sometimes there are 3 or 4 cars there </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369386 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 15:16:54 +0000 gembo 369386@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The green van is set back from the towpath but obviously the van is in the public realm? Sometimes is left there other times must be towed in. Always assumed they paid someone for the pitch? No seats? The other business a few hundred metres east the barge had bad press a while back. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369385 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 15:09:37 +0000 neddie 369385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>She, or one of her staff, also have a habit of parking on the towpath / pavement / square / public realm </p> <p>So that’s not a business I can support, unless proven otherwise </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369383 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 14:52:21 +0000 jdanielp 369383@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just spoke to Susie at Espresso Green on the plaza by Boroughmuir High School in passing - she typically only opens up at 9 am and somewhat weather dependent, but she said to send a message and if there is demand from us then she would open up earlier. Do we have demand for the 28th?</p> <p>(Bring your own cup for 20p off!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21337#post-369357 Fri, 21 Jul 2023 20:04:39 +0000 chdot 369357@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>28th? </p>
