Cue me standing at the Princes Street end, with her getting off the bus at Tollcross then wondering where the hell I was. Her - "You're at the top of Lothian Road. Princes Street is the top" Me "No I am not. How the f**k can I be at the 'top' of a downhill gradient?" "It doesn't work like that" "So folk in Dundee go 'up' to the 'top' of the Hilltown to get to the Wellgate do they?" "f**k you". There is an 8m drop from the highest part of Lothian Road to where it meets Princes St. While its not everest, its clearly downhill. ...............although, if I was describing where I was going, I would say "up town" so go figure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mibbes the city centre thinks like a taxi, it just doesn't go south of the river at night, but in daytime it does, so you both right....or wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appeared that you were suggesting that circle was the city centre, where did that circle come from?

Hedgecutter Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Auchtermuchty is a bit of a pedantic PTTGOYN as it frequently has "Auchtermuchty, Cupar" in its addresses despite Glenrothes being (marginally) closer. eta: and yes, I know that historically Cupar was a proper market town whilst Glenrothes was a no-mark village prior to waves of squalor-dodging Weegie immigrants moving in, but still...
