Heading to town this morning I commented on how the out of town shopping centres were effecting the shops in the City Centre. We headed to Ocean Terminal and I then went to the Outdoor Warehouse at Granton - big mistake, long delays due to roadworks at the Starbank Inn. However, that was only the beginning, I then got stuck in roadworks after roadworks trying to get back through the centre of the town. So I have now changed my mind about the peripheral shopping centres. The City fathers must live with their heads stuck up their external orifices if they cannot see what is happening. Pothole city, and now, as a fund raiser they are complaining that not enough motorists have been charged with blocking junctions - do they really want to totally alienate the Police from the public.
Just a reminder - trams are nearly ready to run, lots of great comments about them, apart form the fact that route is not long enough, and once they hit the city centre, everything else may well grind to a halt - only time will tell.
On anther track, big feature about discount furniture warehouses mismarketing their wares- no mention of Richard F Mackay warehouse, their voice over man on the radio must not only be due for retirement but must be fed up promoting sale after sale after final sale after mega sale at their premises. just one after the other event, just where can one get a guaranteed bargain these days.
Only consolation, the steed of steel was in fine fettle, nice run out through the countryside later on before the rains arrived, perhaps a precursor of worse to come - might even by pass summer and slide back into Autumn again - and no hose pipe ban either.
