@RIE_Lothian - any chance you can do something about selfish parking at car park A2 next to OPD6? Taking two spaces is not on.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@edinhelp @Edinburgh_CC Thanks. Hope everyone’s had a lovely New Year despite the weather.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@Edinburgh_CC Happy New Year! Just a heads up that Canon Street in Canonmills has been reopened but the contractors forgot to wash the paint off the no entry signs. Can someone fix before there’s an accident?

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@PacerClara During Taylor Swift they had them almost running back to back. Very impressive seeing how well Edinburgh Trams coped with the sheer amount of people.

@SteelCityDog_ @neilatkin37 I was about to comment that the bus looks suspiciously like a debranded ex-Lothian Buses bus. The maroon (or madder) is a dead give away. It's very far from home...

@SkyHelpTeam Hi - thanks for getting back. It came back up, went down and then came back up and has been stable since. I noticed a few other Sky broadband users in Edinburgh were affected so reckoned it was a Sky issue than with my line so waited it out. Thanks 😀

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

Hi @SkyHelpTeam - I’ve lost both my landline and sky broadband in the past 15 minutes. EH7 area of Edinburgh (Waverley exchange). Any idea what’s going on? Thanks.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@ScotRoadArchive Still says Ring Road on it. 😀

@Halfords_uk Avoid the Seafield Halfords in Edinburgh.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

It's bad enough that @Halfords_uk managed to damage my car fitting a new dash cam but to also receive a PCN from the car park (despite being assured they would exempt the car) just seems like a kick in the teeth. Currently fighting the "Resolution Department".

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

Hey @CentralTaxisEd - you might want to remind your drivers that you cannot turn right onto Eyre Place from Cannonmills as there's clearly marked No Right Turn signs and road markings.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@DavieIrwin @edtiss @CllrScottArthur About 3 feet to the right of the car.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

Walked up to Leith Walk yesterday and saw this entitled driver thinking the cycle path was an ideal place to park their car when there were plenty of spaces next to them. 🤦‍♂️ Time to get some bollards in.
Zero parking attendants too.

2/2 - I had to sprint to the junction at the Roseburn Bar and fortunately the driver let me on.
If a bus stop is suspended it either needs to be removed or marked as suspended.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@on_lothianbuses - can you do something about the citybound bus stop at Roseburn that's currently in the roadworks. It's not marked as suspended and I didn't appreciate watching two buses rocket past me without stopping at 11:30pm. 1/2...

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@EdinPolNE @Edinburgh_CC Any reason why there's a police van parked outside The Abbotsford Bar on Rose Street 24/7 with 3 officers inside and the engine running constantly? Surely if one us did that we'd be slapped with parking ticket and/or environmental fine.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@xanabe Schrödinger's one way street. Well done Edinburgh Trams ::slow handclap::

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@ScotRoadArchive That takes me back. It's just a pity there's not enough space to have three lanes from the junction to Maybury as that would reduce a lot of the congestion.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@on_lothianbuses any other sea what’s going on with the 23 and 27 buses coming into town from Trinity? Stood outside Fettes for quite some time and no buses have arrived.

[Simon Barber @beerdrinkingman]

@ShowMeASignBryn That's also the section of the M90 with no hard shoulders.
