I wandered round my new home city
and found the spirit of the place exemplified by a homeless man begging for pennies in a Fairtrade Arabica tin.

Which city is that?
Pompy? Bummingham?

Edinburgh
Atmosphere of utopian intellectual cafe-culture mixed with some nasty poverty.
That's what it means to me, anyway.

Ooh.
I'm applying for a job there. Should I not bother?

Definitely do bother -
it's a beautiful place.
It's just that something about the city on a sunny day makes you forget that anyone in the world is unhappy, and trip over a homeless guy.

100% of opinion. There are other edinb3tans to ask too.
