Its a bit short on distance for you is it not?

[rnuwithmark]

Possibly but they have a beer tent and live gig at the end in Holyrood Park so had to enter

Relieved that there are road closures though, can't have people running across live roads.

That would almost be as mad as getting children to play chicken on a dual carrigeway to get the school, imagine

Probably shouldnt have said that, shhhh

Kind of pricey at £43, don't you think Mark?

[rnuwithmark]

100% agree it expensive, only reason I can think of is the expense of closing roads and hiring all the pa equipment for all the bands. Must be pricey. I thankfully managed to get free entry so happy days

Good luck all you brave people who pound the streets for good causes. Cant imagine all the cars down this end being moved in time and the street being clear - we'll give you all a wave.

[Porty]

I thought you spent much of your time imagining those cars being moved!!

[Puerto bella]

Only a small fraction of my time is spent fantasising about a one way system and lorry free street really while juggling a business, a family, a social life, an allotment and goodness knows how many other things.
