Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Hi all Thought I would start a thread where we can mention which famous people we have been lucky enough to spot. I spotted Jenni Falconer today on Princes Street (from GMTV). Maybe not too impressive, but it's a start!! Hoping Christian Slater will be my 2nd famous person, when I go to see One flew...

Wangi, that is awful. Where do these scummy people dredge themselves up from? They are pathetic excuses for human beings. Why on earth is there is no cctv on the prom anyway? I have to say I have always been nervous about walking along the prom at night, and it seems I am justified in my concerns. T...

I am quite surprised at all the comments about Dragon Way. That is our nearest takeaway and we use it quite alot. The food has always been excellent, although that may be because we always order the same 2 dishes! And the portions are massive, which is always a bonus. We always go there for takeaway...

See you all there!!

My neighbours love living here, so maybe in t...

Is anyone else fed up of the drunken bums on Bath Street who insist on shouting "Scotland" and other such chants (most of them expletives) at the top of their voices late at night? I came back from a lovely holiday a couple of weeks ago, and first night back, some drunken idiot woke me up by singing...

I have enjoyed being a lurker on this forum for a while, but have never really felt that I have had anything worth contributing. But, as I am a resident on Bath Street I feel I should put my view forward. I am also concerned about the children who frequently play football outside the bingo hall, I c...

Hi

We have just moved to Portobello, and unfortunately our combi-boiler has packed in. Can anyone please recommend a local plumber who is reliable (and affordable).

Thanks in advance
