but i'm not anon.

Thanks Mr Nice Guy

Puerto bella

conversation in full on the matter on Portobello High St facebook group for the PCC lurkers on here - you'll need to join the group to see it - unless someone will cut and paste it all for you...

Puerto bella

FFS - this place is twisted. crawfords - was just linking the conversation not implying yourself at all. Am closely linked to A&B and am defending them as their friend- this is essential because there are members of our PCC who find it funny/ amusing that they have closed and have sought fit to star...

Looks like thats Annie and Belle cafe closed. Really enjoyed visiting that cafe, was great for the kids, nice setting, nice chat, great coffee...Big loss for me :( very sad indeed. Despite it being very sad there are some equally sad people in our community spreading nasty rumours about these lovel...

Puerto bella

gosh - how exciting for you, we should ask the community council to purchase a suitable crown and sash ensemble for you; perhaps you will have a local fete type day named after you, feature as a character in a novel by local writers or be the inspiration for a wassailing song - the world is your lob...

Puerto bella

So how come the council dont know anything about the TRO when people phone the Roads Dept and they check their register of confirmed TROs?

Puerto bella

Today - it seems that the residents at this end of the street have stuck two fingers up to the inadequacies of CEC and are all blatantly ignoring their un-enforcable traffic restrictions/ double yellows. Only people they benefit it seems are the lorry drivers who can get to the bottom of the street ...

Puerto bella

A neighbour up the street was so enraged he called the council on Wed and was told that the TRO wasnt actually in place/ adopted or whatever it is they do to ratify TROs - so.....if you get a ticket on those double yellows or are nabbed for parking in that ever empty disabled bay - is it enforceable...

Puerto bella

The Jolly is a time warp for me back to when I was a child and my granny used to take us for minestrone, a half and half and the ice cream in a little silver dish with strawberry sauce. I take my 7 yr old now and he gets the free lollies and flat juice lol.

Puerto bella

I see they are having a make over at Leith Walk too.
Am a die hard Jolly half pizza/half pasta girl, would feel a traitor if I went to La Favorita. Have been going to Jolly for 30 yrs - and the decor hasnt changed - its an kitsch extravaganza.

Puerto bella

Tallying it all up - since Xmas we've lost/ are losing: Annie and Belle, Isa Mae, Earthy, Blockbuster and no 44/ Second Ave - have I missed any? I'd call that a crisis and we're on a v slippery slope whatever way you look at it

Puerto bella

The reply from MC is on twitter and Portobello High St facebook group: wont repeat if again on here as the largest group of participants are probably those on the Fb group anyhow and I prefer the open nature of that space.

Puerto bella

MTraill was the proud FOI junkie who bragged about the number he did at the same time as telling everyone he worked for the council and flouted the public money he wangled for working unsocial hours.

Puerto bella

I am tweeting to MC to ask if this is true

Puerto bella

The sceptic in me feels that it is all engineered in order to get us all to support en masse a large supermarket app on Bailliefield site when Sainsbury double the council's offer and we've all played our parts marvellously.

Puerto bella

Wow Soupy, I love when you tell us all things like this - I always wondered about that water tank. Your memory is amazing. Thankyou x

Puerto bella

A date for your diary: Plans are afoot to kick off the festive season in Portobello with a Christmas Shopping Evening onThursday 29th November. (see discussions on Portobello High St facebook group). The evening will see many of our traders participate. We will also be having carols with Sing in the...

Puerto bella

I am beginning to feel like Portobello if left unchecked in the whats best on the conservation front is in danger of turning into somewhere like Rochester - where the locals like nothing more than making a mockery of its days of yore with its pastiche olde worlde shopfronts,festivals full of English...

Puerto bella

Sainsbury's one minute - devil worship the next, its a slippery slope we're on. Am so glad we have the moral and spiritual guardians of Portobello who know what's best for me. lol

Puerto bella

Good luck Lg. I have been involved with the BBC2 team on another case in Borders and they are v good, easy to work with and will put you at ease. Have no fears going into it. The programme seeks to provide a balanced view on planning.

Just catching up - sobering indeed but not at all surprising.

admin: posts re Sainsburys split to the Woodwares closing / Sainsburys coming to Portobello thread.

Puerto bella

look at the New Town ones and make your own mind up as to what's appropriate in a CA.

Puerto bella

or you may want to write and support along with the hoards of others who support this proposal.

Puerto bella

half expected to see a stall on the HIgh St this am....

Puerto bella

Well said indeed LG.

Puerto bella

Am only relaying what police have told us. They were seen.

Puerto bella

Two 10yr olds were seen running from the fire they started this evening at 1 High St, Portobello. They set my husband's jeep on fire. Police reviewing CCTV and hopeful of catching them. Postive fecking Porty.

Puerto bella

So much for positive porty Mak. Sorry if we're boring you.
Boring - is when you have to wait in every feckin day for over a week for everyone and sundry to come at some point and survey the damage to your property from another feckin lorry. That's boring.

Puerto bella

Yes Regent. Maybe James thinks I'm some sado with nothing better to do than curtain twitch. I can assure him that is far from the truth. My business is affected by the lorries, my home is in proven danger and my personal safety - multiply that by the number of folk who also live here and you've got ...

Puerto bella

Join in the Portobello Traffic Nightmares group on facebook James A and contribute your thoughts on there. Rather than hiding on here.

Puerto bella

Thankyou James A for your wisdom on the matter. Knock on the door and we'll have the conversation about the lorries, next time you'd dodging one on the pavement down this way. Resorting to filming what goes on down here is the only way, believe me. We all live here - all we're asking for is a bit of...

Puerto bella

or to measure the fuss before submitting on a bigger site?

Puerto bella

(I now cannot get a direct bus from Joppa to the WGH because that bus now goes to Ocean Terminal as do most bus's nowadays because the council owns ocean terminal) . Cant do the link but BBC web site on 24th Jan 2012 reported: Forth Ports has announced the sale of its flagship shopping centre, Ocea...
