@sykescottages please can a human help ? I am desperate. I have 2 bookings. One was in my husbands name - it was his funeral yesterday. I have tried to phone,email and message but only get an AI bot. Im brain dead, I cant cope with that.

@fishpawz @AmandaPCraig @FT Thanks for sharing. Think I found Camilla in the Times more enticing - going on friday....we will see ( or somesuch sensation...)

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@JaneTulloch1 Im not keen. Think the main reason its so trendy is the colour looks good on Instagram

@JaneTulloch1 @chefsevenn Looks like they are already in in , so doesn't need more veg. Id have brocoli, but there again I have it with everything !

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@PLACEEdinburgh Sadly I have to say - what's the point ? No one will pay any attention.

@LissaKEvans Nieces- why does autocorrect keep changing it to Leicester ????

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@LissaKEvans Mr Majeika by Humpry Carpenter - I spent a whole holiday in France sitting under a tree reading them aloud ( with 'voices') to my daughter and Leicester aged 5 -8. I dont have any memories of that trip other than thier happy giggling and pleas to continue....

@Covbluenose @AllisonPearson Possibly - but we would have had the joy of watching the performances.

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@nats_tired @theSNP Yep we do this too - family in Tyneside. Also worth noting - if you use Waitrise Cellar website they give deals ( I do it when its 25% off wine) and deliver to Scotland. I think that its because the purchase is 'made' in England.

@JaneTulloch1 @RpsAgainstTrump I rather think that he can command a higher moral stance

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

This monstrosity is taking up West George St - obliterating any views - or chance of popping over the road to a shop or anything. It was never about clearing space for people or 'active travel' It was always about clearing space for commercial activity. Edinburgh has sunk so low

@Angus4rtAngus @jofinestiffin @brianjaffa @edinburgh @Edinburgh_CC @LordProvostEdin @EssentialEdin @scotgov @EdinChamber @The_Balmoral Unique Assembly should be responsible - they ( or whoever organises the event each year) make a huge profit !

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@Jenny_1884 No I'm still scared for old fashioned reasons- memories of sadistic pain.....

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@jofinestiffin @brianjaffa @edinburgh @Edinburgh_CC @LordProvostEdin @EssentialEdin @scotgov @EdinChamber @The_Balmoral Why should the Council ( ie us Council Tax payers) clear up the mess ? I think the winter festival organisers should - they are profiting big style.

@ColinSpenc4257 Excuse me - that was me. My Gran was much wilder - she was a flapper !

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@PLACEEdinburgh The City gets more like Las Vegas every week. You would never think that people used to visit just because its beautiful all by itself.

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@thecockburn Surely we can't need anouther hotel, let alone a huge one. City beyond bursting point most of the year - yet look on hotel booking sites any day you choose , NYE height of Festival etc, there are always rooms available.

[Damedithe1st @damedithe1st]

@ColinSpenc4257 The National Glass Museum in Sunderland has an excellent display about them.
