Bloody hell :( ETA: Stupid question because I'm sure you would have said, but any idea what has caused the smoke?

I don't work nights, but I'd be bloody annoyed at persistent barking, regardless of the time of day or night.

I have found Plusnet good, you could investigate their current deals. I have unlimited broadband and a phoneline with them, and I have found them reliable and with good customer service (not that I've needed it much). I think they have some association with BT, not sure what though.

I have hated flying ants ever since some got tangled in my hair one year on my way home from school :(

Crikey, it hasn't been Chopsticks for a very long time, it was Indian Mischief for ages! It appears to be the same people running it as before, and they haven't changed the tables etc, which I presume is how it was able to open so very quickly after Indian Mischief closed.

You can phone the council and in theory the noise control people will come out and listen, and if they agree it's bad they will speak to the person concerned. However the hours they work have been greatly reduced, and I don't know what they are now, though presumably you can find out if you phone.

Is this coming out of our council tax?? :(

I guess if you jump in front of a train you are probably not in the frame of mind to think about the possible/probable effect on other people. Terrible terrible thing all round.

Oh dear oh dear. That would certainly have been a better business plan than what he came up with :( Which isn't saying much .....

OMG just seen this, how awful. And if it was a suicide and they survived badly injured, doubly awful. So sorry.

I'd deffo be interested in outside ping pong tables :)

You are all stars, thanks :)

Leith has some nice places if you don't mind going out of the centre of town.

Sorry to hear that, but well done for trying to help.

Part of the front bar has not been used for a long time, and that is the part which at some point will be reinstated. It is presently closed off so far as I know.

Great that you've done so much to try to help it, but I agree with the above that on balance it's better to leave it and hope that the parents will come to it. Easier said than done I know.
