@BrewDog - this beer tastes off, it's sour (rather than bitter!). Bad batch or just unlucky?...

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

Complete disregard for planning conditions, active travel routes (to the hospital), and local people by @PersimmonHomes

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@donturvLDR @Edinburgh_CC @james_dalgleish Good news! Hopefully "resolve" doesn't just mean putting up diversion signs around the development...

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@N13lCl @jamiemchale @KateC_SNP I think the planning authority could technically enforce reinstatement of the path. Although since they had already agreed it was to be re-routed, hopefully the realistic outcome here is Persimmon will be forced to build a re-routed path asap.

@KateC_SNP @edinburghpaper - one for you guys? Blatant breach of planning conditions by a national housebuilder, affecting local active travel to the hospital

[Kate Campbell @katecampbellSNP]

The path from Greendykes Road to the hospital has been closed and ripped up by Persimmon even though the planning permission explicitly states details of rerouting need to be agreed before ‘commencement of development’.

We need to protect rights of way.

@cocteautriplets Their slogan is also along the lines of "Leave the Herd Behind", but it should be "Leave the Flock Behind" if they're talking about sheep...

@ChrisMurray2010 Congratulations, Chris! As one of your constituents I read your manifesto with interest. Your local priorities seem focused on Portobello and Musselburgh, so I wondered what your priorities are for the reminder of the ward?

@CllrScottArthur - why do you need a ticket to board trams? What's wrong with contactless at each door? Missed a tram earlier (same for 2 other couples and see the same every time) cos we were queuing to buy tickets when the tram arrived. If it was a bus, we'd get straight on!

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@CllrScottArthur I'm interested in the Southbound section. Latest plans suggest the hospital is the final 'definite' stop, with others being options. I'd though the previous plan was to head to Fort Kinnaird (along Greendykes Road), is that section under further consideration?

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@CllrScottArthur Are discussions for the South East extension ongoing as part of the Northern extension, or is that seperate?

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@BrewdogRun What a bizarre shaped glass for Punk! I don't think I like that... 😂

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@fierceweedave @fiercebeer Nice! Definitely a better/cleaner look...

I can't code, and I don't eat many marshmallows. Otherwise, see below:

@DavidMMorton0 @przemekg18 Nothing quite like a good title condition to entertain 😂

You know you’re in the shire when…

@BritishGas - 75min on a call (1hr+ on hold), issue almost resolved (after 9mths and countless calls / messages), your employee seems to have hung up, called back, and hung up again. I just want an engineer to commission my gas meter (so you stop estimating) - why so difficult?!

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@grogipher I think this points to the issue - your tweets are so frequently rude or unforgiving about other people it's difficult to distinguish.

[Alan Gibson @Agib91]

@grogipher Tweets like these don't help you. Your (public) modus operandi seems to always be working against others, and it's always negative. Have you tried reaching out, publicly, in a positive manner, for support? This isn't meant to be derogatory, but a genuine Q.

@alanhilliar Scottish Building Standards require new build homes to have solar panels and high standards of insulation (there are no doubt some exceptions to solar panels, but none I'm aware of). Not much use this time of year, but I saved approx. 30-50% kWh consumption over summer.
