Walk's on the wild side

The funny part is that the closest police station - Gayfield Square - is 50 yards from the top of Leith Walk. So much for deterrence, hmm?

On the train on the way home I was sitting just along from three... hmm... ned-ettes?? who were discussing one of their number's upcoming court appearance... when one admitted serving three months, and told the defendant that she might have to serve time she shouted [loud enough for the whole carriage to hear] "but it's only my first offence...!". I wasn't surprised they got off at Polmont.
