Edinburgh Fringe Festival or even the full Festival itself: Excellent.
Working in Edinburgh DURING the Festival: NOT excellent. For reasons I shall disclose.
Tourists. They just get right in the way when they stop every 100 yards to point at a bit of architecture, or to look at their festival map. Grrr.

LOL...tourists...can't shoot them...can't let them live..what to do?
Without the tourists Edinburgh festival would not exist. Patients!
Bond - Yesterday I'd have shot them. Saturday I'll be one of them.
Monique - Indeed....
I try to be a polite tourist, but I just never know what's going to catch my eye. If I'm ever in your land, I'll be sure to be aware that I might be pulling up short in front of a native.
Thanks for the tip!
Trav - if it were you it'd be FINE... The pavements in Edinburgh are pretty narrow. Further up the road I was on they have pedestrianised the street - so there's plenty of room for everyone. I know I'm a meanie.
Tourists bring in lots of money and are vital to the economy. But I know they are also a pain, particularly when they fill the restuarants, etc. Grit your teeth and hope for rain, if you want them to go away for a while.
