I thought for a moment that the Edinburgh twitter account was posting pictures of Dusseldorf and vice versa, referencing the flight mixup the other day. That would have been funnier...

That was lovely. I particularly like Duesseldorf conceding gracefully with "Twitter is not that big in Germany and Edinburgh is wonderful - we all watched Trainspotting 2".

Came here just to comment that the Edinburgh/Dusseldorf Twitter contrast was highly entertaining.
