The people in that city do indeed appear to be fnckiug jerks. I thought it was OK when I lived there. I doubt I'll go there again, the all hate me. Fnckiug idiots.
Edinburgh's fantastic and the people are just like anywhere else, except wearing more layers and carrying inside-out umbrellas. There is a hardcore of fcukwits who regularly post on the EN website and they're not the most enlightened, articulate or well-informed fcukwits. There's nowhere else in the UK I'd rather live, except maybe Newcastle and that's only 'cos the accent gives me the horn.
Kirst, you devil, did you know my accent isn't too dissimilar to the Geordie one.
As I have said several times, I lived in Edinburgh for a while at the end of the last century and really liked the place. I did hope to stay there too.
Of course I understand that people who post comments to sites like that are not representative of the place, I said earlier that I'd expect similar comments in every town, even this one where I live. Life for this cyclist is OK here but like Anth, I don't jump red lights or ride on the pavement, most motorists don't remonstrate if I slow them down for 10 second either.
Local papers are a public face of the city though, some people would form their judgement based on the papers and it isn't such a good image to portray.
