Subject: Edinburgh - for our (less gifted?) English cousins..

Tis the time of the festival in Edinburgh when the great and the good and posh english come to our capital...from the herald diary:

Thirsty work
THERE has been a bit of a backlash in Edinburgh against the indigents, usually with a dog on a piece of string, looking for a bob or two on the city streets. Many of them are not originally from Edinburgh, which also annoys the locals. So with a spot of refreshing honesty, one such chap on the High Street last week, was telling people: "Look, am no bein' pretentious. I'm Scottish. I want a drink. I'm ootside a licensed grocer's. A've nae money and a've a dug tae look efter. A'm askin for a few bob. Is that a crime?" Goodness, there were plays with worse scripts than that being performed on the Fringe.
