    SMOKING is to be banned from play parks across the Capital under new plans being drawn up by the council.

    ‘No smoking’ signs will be “prominently displayed” at children’s outdoor play areas and school playgrounds, as well as car parks, courtyards and entrances to city-owned buildings, as part of an expanded “smoke-free” policy for Edinburgh.

    Dog fouling is also banned but a lack of enforcement action by council means it's pretty endemic in places.

    I can't say I can ever remember seeing anyone smoking in our local park.

    "elf and safety"

    My OH remembers as a child surfing down the local coal bings using a large sheet of asbestos as a surf board.

    That's nothing -

    WE used to put the asbestos sheets on bonfires 'coz they made great cracking explosions.
