My grandmother's house in Morningside used to back on to a goods line. Mealtimes were continually disrupted by small children rushing over to the window to count the carriages.

You'll be delighted to know that this is the same goods line.

Morningside?

There's posh! :o)

It was posh, considerably posher than where we lived in south London. We always used to love visiting Edinburgh and I still do.

Other half is originally from Stirling and did his doctorate in Edinburgh and Paris so I saw a lot of both cities at one time. Both certainly posher than the prefab council estate in Rochester, Kent where I grew up! :o)
