Now that the building work for our desperately needed (sic) tram system is now well underway doon our street it seems that the council have taken an imaginative step towards the new and glorious nanny state of the future. A pedestrian crossing for the inebriated and well-oiled. Handily located at the top of Haddington Place, right outside the International Youth Hostel and within crawling distance of our local the Windsor Buffet, Pearces Bar and the newsagent that sells ciggies to under 16's.

We await with bated breath the urinating man and vomiting student icons that must surely follow.
