CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years 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.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Just been to the dump at Sighthill. All good. Slot booked. You have to drive in to the college carpark then perform a U turn. Dump staff helpful and good humoured.
Great Tom Waits story of when he became famous and went down tot he record shops in LA to see the fans and nobody recognised him. Next week he was taking stuff to The Dump where he was mobbed by fans
Did you remember your two forms of identification and proof of address?
Only need that if you have a van :)
As it happens I did Seafield on Wednesday. Pretty well organised, though they can't take old engine oil, so the big tub of that I have will have to go to Craigmillar.
We did have the two forms of ID and proof of address
But
There had been some issue with the car two in front and this caused a big tailback on the Bankhead autobahn
So we were all waved through Maybe just on number plates.. sighthill has the oil for recycling capacity
Did you see Stig ?
Lot of chat on Radcliffe and Maconie this a.m. about the Dump
after breakfast (I do not listen to them during breakfast) they had changed to calling it the Tip as The Dump is american
But then one of them mentioned Stig of The Dump
Quality item!
Was half awake for the tale of Kenny (?) from Portobello who walked to the dump, presumably Seafield, with his bag of rubbish but was turned away.
I went to Seafield the other week. I was half-expecting to be the only person there during my timed slot but there were about ten cars there, so the same as normal but without the queue approaching from Seafield Road. It said no wheelie bins or tonne bags so I had to be sneaky to empty my bag of garden clippings into the appropriate skip.
Yeah the tonne bags thing is new. That is a total pita.
