It is to put into a stand which she is getting from the O.T. so as she doesnt have to carry or lift it up to fill it. This is an aid for the disabled but I have been told the only kettles that work in these stands are corded, if I am wrong let me know.

I am trying to buy a corded kettle not a cordless one. I have been round quite a few shops tesco woolworths argos john lewis etc but to no avail. Does anyone know a shop that stocks a corded jug kettle. I can get one of the small ones that you find in hotel rooms but dont really think that will be b...

I came up from musselburgh this morning in a bus and it took from hotel (cant remember its name) on the milton road to the roundabout 40minutes. I travel up there 7 days a week and since the roadworks started, this morning was the worst of all. It would help the buses if no cars were allowed to park...

At last someone talking sense. We need a supermarket in porty and true if the shops there are any good they have no need to worry.

susie

I`m sorry you feel that way, And i too can find things on the beach that irratate me too, But it`s a public space and these things all come with the turf. I could moan all day about Pub noise, Drunks, Dog crap, Litter....... The fact is i bought a house beside a busy and popular beach and these all...

Anyone recognise anyone?

John lovatt is the one on the far left. He lived in tower street, which is now called figgate street and his mum was a driving instructor. I was in the same class as john at towerbank.

Does anyone know what the 4 marble columns are meant to be . Everytime i pass them I expect to see ashtrays perched on top of them.

susie

I totally agree with impossiblevoices, let portobello go with the times, there are complaints about anything new, if its not the school its the supermarket. what next.

susie

No dont want to do that. I have bought more, and this lot are tightened up with a key, the little boys have tried to get them off (very persistant they are) but did'nt, so hopefully they will give up.

susie

dont think they live that end of porty. think they are from the flats at park avenue, as i have seen them up there.

Our valve caps keep going missing on our car. We know who the culprits are, 2 little blonde haired boys, one of them on a bike and he sometimes wears a hearts top. It has got past the funny stage, police will be the next to know. Children that age have to be stopped doing this sort of thing, as it w...

susie

well that says it all. Its a hill. many thanks to all

susie

thank you bob, I think its a hill, but americans think its a mountain!!!!!

susie

Please can someone settle an argument for me. Is arthur seat a hill or a mountain. thank you

susie

I agree Woodwares is a very good shop and the assistants are brilliant apart from one. The big chap I find not very helpful, everything is a bother to him, he ruins a visit to the shop.

susie

thats sick, there are human beings being killed!!!!!!!

susie

Where is baguette express shop going to be situated, not the jewellers as it is now a optician.

susie

As I am writing this there are two vans parked on the new pavement which was just all relaid a few months ago. This should not be allowed as this is how the pavements get damaged. Dont understand workmen. ALSO they have dug up the road again at adelphi place, must still be looking for gold!!!

susie

Bill can you tell me why your phone numbers are listed for the car boot sale. I have just phoned and the female who answered, told me just to turn up on the day. dont understand the reason for this, i assumed it was so as people who wanted to participate could book a place in advance.

susie

The Sue Ryder shop sold dolls houses and furniture long before the new dolls shop was opened. They were selling it before xmas last year.

susie

totally agree with you it is a mess that place, could have had a nice supermarket there by now.

susie

Whats happened to the staff in banks in portobello. They are such an unhelpful bunch that i have ever met. they are the ones that are always right, not the customer as it used to be. Think they should start a charm school for them they really need to be nicer. anyone else find that, or is it only me

susie

Keep us updated on this please. Seems a bit odd to me.

susie

I agree better with a used shop as empty, but there are too many charity shops in portobello at the last count seven( not sure if that is correct).

susie

Charity shop opening in the old electricity board shop. Think its about time they stopped opening up down here, its getting beyond a joke.

susie

thanks Poppy i will read on. this is usually quite a peaceful little place.

Anyone know what all the trouble was about on sunday at 9 PM, at the galleon pub, lot of police attended. The ormelie had problems as well so it seems.

susie

I went to morningside and got Mrs Dadaist red tulips and fresh cream pralines from Harvest Garden, with cards from Neo-Dadaist and Oscar the cat, who got her a "you're like a Mother to me" card. For my own mother, I got an indoor flowering plant from M&S and another card. Mrs Dadaist got a long lie...

Why are they taking the trees away outside Sibbalds the travel agents. It is very sad, they were lovely when in full bloom.

susie

my postie Martin is brilliant. very trustworthy, cant praise him enough. I have always found no problems with any delivery, maybe you dont tip him enough at xmas.

susie
