VC/Principal Peter Mathieson: “I think it’s regrettable that our students’ education is being interrupted by ...”
Heckler: “working conditions!”
CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
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.

That guy has a basic salary of £342,000 so he's laughing.
Just as well he gets a 5-bedroom "grace and favour" house in central Edinburgh as well then - how would he cope otherwise?
The only reason to pay anyone that sort of money is so that they'll do things they know to be wrong.
also very weird ideas that guy has about when a process is or isn't working?
UCU/Lecturers secured an agreement the last time they were out on strike but employers have failed to act upon this as per the agreement. Is my take. He thinks the process is ongoing.
Was still chilly on the picket line at Heriot-Watt this morning despite the milder weather. One more day...
solidarity rally today ? Liverpool and Leicester
But not the prisons UCU group who i think are also on action?
Happening right now! Thanks for the reminder.
Good piece in Bella by my mate Prof Big Davie Whyte These sharks at Liverpool are demented
some hope of averting strike due to start on Monday
The USS trustee has now confirmed that UCU's pension proposals are viable.
Now up to Universities to come back to table.
Anyone heading to the march at the Mound tomorrow?
I’ll be around but heading to an eye appointment after the picket line.
Good piece ab out the strike/MAB from my colleague Fraser MacDonald:
