Nothings left to common sense. I imagine 20 years ago, a local bobby (on a bicycle) might have stuck his finger in the power and sen it was flour all along. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-26142 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 10:24:13 +0000 chdot 26142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"We did use sawdust during the anthrax scare." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-26137 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 10:18:45 +0000 Stepdoh 26137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Points to Greenroofer, it is those dastardly runners:<br /> <a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/White-powder-emergency-39was-flour.6729797.jp">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/White-powder-emergency-39was-flour.6729797.jp</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-25962 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 13:54:59 +0000 chdot 25962@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"piles of white stuff by lampposts"</p> <p>It makes dogs dissolve... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-25961 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 13:43:06 +0000 ruggtomcat 25961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>theres an old guy who goes around leaving piles of white stuff by lamposts in the meadows, I suspect he is up to no good... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-25960 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 13:32:02 +0000 Greenroofer 25960@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This sounds suspiciously to me like the piles of flour that <strong>Hash House Harriers</strong> leave during their runs. It's probably linked to the similar piles of flour currently visible at Craighouse and down the little muddy path by the railway from Craighouse to Craiglockhart Station.</p> <p>More here: <a href="http://www.hhh.org.uk/hashing.cfm">http://www.hhh.org.uk/hashing.cfm</a></p> <p>If the mysterious 'F' was by a pub, then I think the evidence would be conclusive... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-25957 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 12:24:59 +0000 chdot 25957@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Drama-after-mystery-piles-of.6728938.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Drama-after-mystery-piles-of.6728938.jp</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2436#post-25906 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:28:25 +0000 kaputnik 25906@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"LBFire LBFRS<br /> Dealing with suspected chemical incident in Caledonian Crescent at jnct with Orwell Place.

Glad it was and not mussleburgh etc as I didn't take my repair kit!</p> <p>Wonder what it is... </p>
