A few observations from Edinburgh
The light is very different - a clear blue-grey as opposed to the flat, exhaust-tinged glare of London.
It's not half as busy - drove round the bypass to Sighthill during rush hour this morning and it took me about 30 minutes tops. With the exception of Princes Street there are no crowds at all.
Chip and PIN seems to have only recently made inroads up here. Shop staff ask solicitously if you know your PIN before proffering the keypad...

Fame and fortune beckon
This is it, lads - a chance to turn Fitzrovian into a bestselling (christmas novelty) book!
