There has to be a gap in the market in east Edinburgh/Portobello/Joppa/Musselburgh for an organic food outlet. East Lothian Council refused permission for a Farmers' Market in Musselburgh because of the threat it posed to local retailers apparently. Yet Haddington has one. I think that would be better than the other suggestions in the EEN article replies: a Lidl or a strip club.

Methinks this thread has degenerated too...

@ Recomboda "When you commute on the giant do you sit on his shoulders or in the palm of his hand?"
As always, I shall be standing on the shoulders of giants... ;-)

""Saw the same guy on the way home too, what are the chances of that?"
Presumably quite high if you work the same hours."
I've seen the guy with the legs again the last two evenings and in exactly the same place despite leaving work 20 mins later yesterday. Kind of funny!

So one of you is stalking the other?

Hmm yes. I think it must be me since he is always already in front (waiting at traffic lights). Plus, yesterday I chased him for a bit until I realised I would have to change gears and couldn't be bothered.
Don't think I'll ever really get the hang of competative commuting..

On Monday I overtook what I can only describe as a cycling ninja hobbit, which is great as he only had a tiny rucksack and I had two panniers. And then I won for all time as he got ahead of me by jumping a red light.

"I won for all time as he got ahead of me by jumping a red light"
Is that a new rule?

If you can't clearly get through on green I'd consider it de rigueur to stop, so that you can demonstrate your crushing superiority once again...
On the other hand, waiting for your betters to stop at red and then bouncing it surely forfeits the race...

I stopped because the light was red when I got to it. He carried on. By the time the junction had been through its full cycle, he was nowhere to be seen.

Yes, very strange - it's old and hardly been active lately!

Well, let's be fair - the discussion is only 10 months old.
