Whilst the population of Edinburgh might be a bit under 500,000 every single one of the half a million population were driving by themselves in the city in 500,000 cars. OMG the traffic. The centre of the city up near the North Bridge has been gutted to make way for a massive new shopping centre and yep what did I do – book the lovely hotel on top of the North Bridge. Whilst the hotel was fabulous (as the Apex’s usually are) getting to Waterloo Place needed a whole packet of Valium washed down with a bottle of neat Scotch. I eventually managed to park the trusty stead down in the depths of a Scottish cliff and there was no damn way I was getting it out until I headed North. Thankfully, the very lovely Brian collected me and he did a brilliant job of dodging cranes, cement trucks and the 500,000 cars. Spent a fabulous day at work and they organised a lovely dinner where pasta was consumed amongst the lovely lilts of my Scottish colleagues.
