You should see the mess they have made of the male showers at Glenogle #edinburghleisure

They all belong to the Rettie office around the corner 😉

They also do small plates, same amount of mince with a teaspoon of spuds and 6 peas held back 🤣

Isn't it just, Kays

Well, you have made friends with the Norn Irish folk with those crisps 😉🍀

Edinburgh pubs #50 but only after a long walk comes The Thorntree Inn (Cockenzie) and the Railway Tavern (Prestonpans) #Edinburgh #Pubs #Cockenzie #Prestonpans

I find the best way is to put them on a 36 to The Gyle, where they then transfer to the tram for Newhaven - at least that way they will have seen a significant part of Edinburgh, and been travelling for about three hours😀 and still not know where they are.

The thread about the Great Edinburgh Beer Duty Fraud: Boiling the Wort and Cooking the Books It was 3AM on Christmas morning 1933 when - after a long and cold stakeout - not Santa but three agents of His Majesty's Customs & Excise entered the renowned Bell's Brewery on the Pleasance and caught the brewers in the act of working illicitly. They didn't yet know it but the trio had just uncovered the UK's largest ever duty fraud, one with a record that would not be broken for decades to come. So ended the Great Edinburgh Beer Duty Fraud. And so also begins its story, the story of a company set up by Victorian venture capitalists in "An Alcoholic Haze of Ambition" and which had to struggle through 40 years of economic hardship only to decide that criminality was a course of action preferable to watering down their famously strong beer.

Future of union set hits point of no return Last month, the drinks business reported on efforts to find a new home for the historic six-barrel union set gifted by the Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company (now Carlsberg Britvic) to Epochal Barrel...

The Glasgow union is in the last chance saloon. This is not a drill. Please share far and wide.

Just had had Hue & Cry mistakenly wander into the brewery trying to buy a forklift truck. Think they were looking for Linde.
