You see it's all very well doing this during the Festival, when locals are on holiday and tourists are here. The rest of the year, the "locals" (ie. the East Lothian barbour/green wellies brigade) just <em>have</em> to be able to park their Range Rovers right outside the shop (well the other end of George Street will do). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6621#post-71055 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:04:57 +0000 PS 71055@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Woop!
