« on: April 29, 2008, 13:05:27 PM »
Bringing Mrs Nosey-P this Saturday. Can anybody help with places to visit (not zoo or the castle) while I am winning the tournament? Is there any think in walking distance of the casino? As she hate's to drive to places were she does not know were she is going.(stopping at the Mariot)

She"ll only need a couple of hours to entertain herself before you join her, so she can borrow my Mountain Bike, Wayne, and go for a ride in Glentress, just outside Peebles.  ;D

Gyle shopping centre is just across the road from the Casino.  Has tons o shops, upstairs eating area with a selection of different food types too.  This is within walking distance, 10 mins max.

Tons of shops is pushing it a bit.  It"ll take half an hour to walk round the Gyle.  Nothing of interest near the casino, she"ll need to head into town if she wants to fill up the day.

Did you mean it would take a man half an hour to walk round the Gyle, I"m sure being a woman Mrs Nosey P should comfortably be able to spin that out to at least 3 hours.  I"m at the Gyle with my wife every week and a "quick" trip normally takes 90 minutes, when she goes with her mother you are talking at least double that.

Mary is spot on about there being nowhere else within walking distance but the Marriott is a great base to bus it in and out of the city centre.      
Often the correct decision is the hardest to reach

Half an hour should be about as long as she"ll need.   :D  Poor Nosey!

Have I got a reputation of being a bad player? ::)

If I turn up at 3.00 does that qualify me for lasting longer than half an hour? ;)

Ian, I thought you was my friend :"(

There you go Wayne.  Ian can keep your missus entertained.  He can carry her shopping.
