its official edinburgh is the pits

Fri, Aug 29, 2008

You couldn’t make this up if you tried. A survey has just found that Edinburgh is the most miserable place in Britain. All Glaswegians are no doubt grinning from ear to ear at this joyous news! But how can this be? Scotland’s capital full of glowering grumblers? Well, it’s true. The good burghers of Auld Reekie recently tried to ban bagpipes in the city and the latest wheeze is “bangless-fireworks”! You know what they say about people from Edinburgh - they think “sex” is something they get their coal in and when it snows, they drag their fridges into the street and leave them open on their backs with the door open! Man, they must really hate the fringe. All that laughter and singing in the streets. It’s just not on.
