Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.

Two miles? Within the city??
Two miles? Within the city??
I went past these yesterday. Even in rush hour, 2 miles is hard to imagine.
I queued on the bus from Craigleith to the lights (just past Orchard Brae) for 30 minute this morning.
I guess if you measure all the standing traffic and add the whole distance up, it might work out to 2 miles? A bit like then cities bost of having hundreds of miles of cycle path, when really its just a bit of white paint which at most goes for 10 - 15 metres at a time before ending at a give way/dismount/lamp post/electric box/tree*.
