Edinburgh
Say what you like about Embra-Ould Reekie-but of all the capital cities of the UK it is the most dramatic in the city centre-at certainly the most pleasing when emerging from the train station. Compare and contrast with Victoria, Waterloo or especially King Cross. And Befast or Cardiff -non runners in the capital city stakes.
Not Huttonian's own work.Thankyou gms.
We were badly let down by GNER-wrong type of signals on track at Berwick-two hour delays going to Embra so we did the park-and-ride thing for the first time and it is strongly recommended.Not good for the environment taking a car to Newcraighall but very bad for the liver being stuck 4000 yards north of Berwick contemplating the notice which says 'Edinburgh 50 Miles' for about one hour 45 minutes; realising that Embra might well be on the moon or, more appropriately in these cases, Uranus. And in that mood I don't really mind how you pronounce it

Comments:
They are second to Israeli Bus drivers in West Jerusalem in the misery stakes and second equal to their cousins in Basra.Probably
Nah, Embra bus drivers are more miserable - at least those in Jerusalem & Basra have a reasonable excuse for it

If a Basrawi bus driver does not like you he may terminate you with extreme prejudice. Embra drivers are unlikey to be so lenient
