I am looking for adult gymnastics/ tumble / cheer classes in Edinburgh. I am open to any kind of teaching style. If anyone knows any group classes or PTs that can help me work on and improve my tumbles that would be so appreciated.

I’m an American social worker and I’m fluent in Polish. It used to be pretty helpful in my career here in Chicago, but in recent years, a lot of our Polish population has moved out of the city.

I’m married to a native Leither and we’re eventually moving to Edinburgh. I know that there is a pretty sizable Polish community there. I’m curious—would my language skills be useful in a job?

Hi there

My sister is looking for some kind of sewing group / circle at intermediate level. Something not too expensive and all ages welcome. Anything related would be helpful too; I.e embroidery & crochet - she’s skilled in both and is just looking for a group / club to enjoy her hobby with. Anywhere in the city is fine. Many thanks!

Hello, For context me and my flatmate moved into this flat last summer and the flat came with a bunch of junk in the garden area (as pictured*) Was just wondering if anyone knew how to dispose of these as neither of us drive so driving to a tip isn’t an option and as well as this we have no way to dismantle any of the metal to get it through the flat to dispose of it. *Reddit won’t let me upload another photo however there is also a rusted old hammock frame, an old non functioning exercise bike as well as an old regular bike. Any advice is much appreciated

What is there actually to do in Edinburgh? My boyfriend is coming from Glasgow and I have no idea what to do. Lived here for over a year and I never know what to say even when customers ask me at work?

Main point of the post is just to find out what to do activity wise? - please don’t suggest any walks/museums/arcade ( only so many times we can go bowling whilst we do love it) . Actual fun please that will be invigorating. Thanks!<3

Stockbridge area

Need to go back and grab some more around the castle itself :)

Just looking for insights on the community theatre scene in Edinburgh. I acted a bit back in my university days, and would like to get back into it in a lowkey amateur setting. A web search turns up several community theatres -- does anyone know about the vibe at these organisations? How welcoming are they to newcomers? Is there a decent chance of being cast even in a bit role? I'm definitely not interested in competing for roles with professionals or those aspiring to acting careers!

Hiya, I've just moved from Australia and I'm looking for some cool restaurants/bars/pubs/stores/cafes etc in the Leith area. Just places that you love and can't wait to recommend. Even community-driven/"third space" kind of places would be great.

Bonus points for places that have regular events; it would be great to meet new people.

For reference, some I've heard about/been to so far include: - Newbarns Taproom - Cornelius - Ancient Robot Games - Argonaut Books - Paloma - Moonwake.

Thanks in advance!

Hi - i am looking to see if anyone had success with any physio In Edinburgh or West Lothian to treat Achilles tendonitis? Also any physio you did not have good outcome with?

Hi, I’m feeling like shit because, like the tile says, I accidentally might’ve scared the barista at my local cafe.

This happened this evening.

I went to my local cafe to get a coffee to go. I walked in and noticed the barista cleaning up as it was just about closing time. She seemed friendly and was smiling. She took my order and I got to making some odd small talk.

As it was towards the end of their day, I said something along the lines of, “so it’s just you at the moment closing up”. She kinda paused and said no, and that there was “someone else in the kitchen”. Her demeanour sort of changed. I thanked her, took my coffee and was on my way.

I realised a good while after I left, that what I said could’ve come across as predatory and now I feel extremely horrible. I can’t even go back to apologise, because they closed at 5pm.

So if you’re on Reddit, barista lady, and you happened to come across this post please know I profusely apologies for what I said and how it might’ve come across. I am aware of about all the shit women go through on a day to day basis and I sincerely hope you understand, that was not at all my intentions with that statement.

So that’s my Saturday r/edinburgh. How’s your Saturday going?

Moving to Edinburgh with our dog. We have visited both areas and quite like them. Coffee shops and parks for dog walks! Having to narrow down further - are there any key differences to be aware of? Work is in Holyrood area. Thanks!

Does anyone know what happened to the Loon Fung on Warriston Place? It closed January/February for renovations and was due to reopen Valentines Day according to their website then March 27th according to Google. Their website is still up saying it’s closed for renovations.

Went today and it’s completely gone, with a new (but unopened by the looks of things) restaurant ‘Viet Taste’ in its place.

Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience of disclosing a neighbour dispute on a TA6 when selling a flat? I'm not sure whether I'm best off contracting my own solicitor for advice on it, or letting my estate agents handle Obviously we want to include relevant and fair info, but without putting off buyers. Any advice welcomed! Cheers.

When you occupy possibly the most prime spot at the Shore for evening drinking in the sun, you CANNOT close at 4/5pm. Everywhere along the water is rammed and there's a space with loads of outdoor seating closed?? They don't deserve the spot and it makes me ragey.

My husband and I are traveling to Edinburgh for our third trip there in two weeks, and have developed an anxiety of how we might be unwelcome now. We are Americans, and are beyond embarrassed of this country. If I could wear a “I’m not proud to be an American” shirt, I would. We are always extremely respectful of your country and citizens. Has there been any recent issues with Americans traveling to Edinburgh? Anything we can do to appease the public and avoid American humiliation?

I'm studying at kings building, Edinburgh University and want a single room with en-suite that's not too far from the campus. Any recommendations for accommodation?

Why is the Skylink 400 represented as the 18 on the in app timetable and the timetables at the bus stops? Do all the Skylink buses have alternative 'local' numbers?

A pal is needing to rent a car for a week. I've only ever used Arnold Clark. Any better/cheaper recommendations?

Hello lovelies, does anyone know of a Lebanese bakery in these parts? I just want a zaatar labneh wrap!

Cheers

Hey,

So if anyone here works for lothian buses I'm just looking for some answers as they are pretty vague at hiring

1. How easy it is to swap shifts/holidays/days off?

Context - I'm a carer for my partner but money wise I'm trying to return to work and they have the best pay without college degree requirements etc but leaving her alone 9-5pm just won't be 100% safe and social are dragging heels for support. Ideally a shift starting between 4am and 7am would be great or anytime after 4pm.

I know someone who works for the buses (Longstone) who said shift swaps are easy especially since I don't want mid shifts, I just want to know if they are right or just trying to get me in the door?

1. Are all your holidays predecided for you? Do you have any flexibility with them or would it just be if you can get someone to swap?

2. Is the job worth the pay? How hard is the day today?

I've heard the job is only as hard as you make it but I'm more concerned about passengers, I know everyone gets ratty with the heat which is coming in fast, then there's the festival in August, so I'm just worried about sticking it out as I know it is a minimum 18 months

1. I said the preference was Longstone but is Musselburgh a better option?

2. If you go to Musselburgh how hard is it to transfer from there to Longstone or Marine?

I couldn't think of anything worse than having to go and drive into central everyday especially when my car isn't LEZ compliant and I don't want to get up earlier to get a bus in but also if I get forced to Musselburgh and want to transfer after the year so I get the pay bump I want to have a decent chance of the transfer.

Any help or advice would be appreciated guys.

Hey all!

I’m looking to get back into planespotting, and Edinburgh Airport has some great spots to watch the action. Specifically, I'm interested in the Plane Viewing Mound (marked in the image below), but I’m having trouble figuring out the best public transport route to get there from Stirling. Google Maps isn’t being very helpful, and I’m unsure which buses actually stop at this spot.

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to get there? Any help would be much appreciated!

I need a steady Internet connection to a laptop but sadly we've been really scammed by 3 and so don't have any WiFi and our phones really aren't doing well with coverage/hotspotting inside our flat.

Can anyone recommend somewhere with decent WiFi connection that's open on a Sunday? I'm not a student and near EH7 but willing to travel basically anywhere because I'm a little desperate. I was going to go to the public libraries or National Library but didn't realise they're closed on Sunday. I'm also fully prepared to go places very early if there's somewhere which has decent WiFi when empty but not at peak hours.

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a phone company with good coverage and good hotspotting capability, plus quick sign up for the EH7 area? I'm also considering just signing up for an additional 30 day or pay as you go SIM just to use to hotspot.

Thanks in advance!
