The many facets of Princes Street, Edinburgh

Now where is Santa Clause ?? found his reindeer feeding and resting in Princes Street and I am sure that later in the day they were to be hitched up and do a run down the Mound.

BUT the big question is - what is happening to Princes Street, wonderful to be able to wander freely along the street in a traffic free environment - BUT - that is no good for commerce, etc.

It looks like the Council have brought in some modern Red Buses, possibly purchased from London Transport to replace the trams which have been relegated to a five hundred yard stretch of track out at Gogar- no doubt to entertain staff and their kiddies (maybe a bit flippant).













I had to resolve a wee problem with Mrs. B. mobile phone, which , after ten years of faithful service had given up and gone to that great black hole in the sky - no option but to pop into the O2 shop in Princes Street where a wonderful young lady (originally from Newcastle) confirmed the demise of said instrument, checked that the SIM card was working and sold me a dinky wee phone perfect for a non technocrat.

Opposite the shop the workmen were constructing a snowboarding frame which is to be filled with Fifty tons of snow on Saturday and will be used a demo slope over the weekend by boarders promoting Disabled Scotland
