Hope I didn’t offend, the typo was obvious and your meaning was perfectly clear (but then I have had this persistent image all day of the early morning Pontiff sweeping in across the Firth of Forth towards EDI)
I hope you weren’t flying today.. a pilot doesn’t need that sort of distraction. LOL

Bmi Star said he was “poping” up to Edinburgh when he should have said “popping”. The “Pope” is well known for travelling in a ‘buggy-like’ pope-mobile.
Think of a converted ice cream van and your half way there.
JOKE: Pope is driving round the crowds at a huge outdoor mass, when he sees a young lad chasing after the pope mobile. After several hundred yards the pontiff asks the driver to slow down in order that he may speak with the child.
“What is it you want my son ?” asks the pope.
“Er… three cornetto’s and a ten Embassy Regal” exclaims the lad. 😀
I get it now.
My heads spinning today so I’m a bit slow on the uptake.
Good joke btw 😉

I watched a load of “ghosts” being briefed by their boss on how to scare tourists on the ghost tour last week. Most amusing and surreal experience. 😀

Speaking totaly impartialy ( :rolleyes: ):
EDI is both good and bad. Small enough so that you’re not trapsing about for hours looking for an exit, but big enough so its not totaly overcrowded.
Traffic wise there is generally a good mix at the weekends. Weekdays tend to be a lot of EZY and BA with a dash of BMI thrown in for good measure.
Regular charter airlines are Monarch, Eurocypria and Balkan
The City itself…. well, its conjested LOL
