    Edinburgh, please let it be Edinburgh.

    Perhaps we (the U.S.) could arrange a special one-time-only emission of GHG to be anchored in geo-synchronous orbit at whatever glacial latitude constitutes the closest northern approach to Edinburgh?

    I will see if my auspices are sufficient, Fugs, but remember:

    This will probably represent the bulk of my Christmas goodwill toward you-mayhaps a fruitcake if you are especially good.

    I rather like Edinburgh - ok some of the Moringside worthys are straight from "The prime of Miss Jean Brodie" but the city itself is rather beautiful.

    I suspect JP is of Govan ilk or something similar and a prejudice or two is showing around the edges (or straight up the middle).


    Water being water I think there is every probability that the lowest lying cities will get their feet wet first (unless the laws of physics have changed in these more politically correct educational days).

    Ok...

    That was.....















    quite funny!

    I am not from Edinburgh, but I still like it as a city. However, I am a teuchter so what do I know - we even ate tweed when I was a kid (or at least it seemed like it).
