    Last night while trying to navigate myself through deepest Nidrie (I was trying to following the cycle route signs to Rosslyn Chapel), observed 4 yoof on BSOs wobbling away from a building site, each with what looked like a length of 4x2 over one shoulder.

    I don’t think they could have actually been 4x2s as they seemed to be over 3m long so would be too heavy I’d have thought ? Also they looked very yellow, so possible something scaffold related ?

    Still, it didn’t seem to stop 3 of the 4 making a reasonable attempt at a getaway over some waste ground. The 4th had a slow-motion tumble and decided to abandon his loot.

    i must have missed a sign, as ended up on the 701 to/from Rosslyn.

    Should have invited them to be keynote speakers at PoP2017.

    You'd be surprised what can be done. Decades ago a pal liberated a substantial length of old hardwood bar top from the rubbish outside a pub and cycled home with it under his arm.

    Persuading the bike to turn right at the roundabout after building up speed down Leith Street was seemingly quite interesting.
