Edinburgh 4th June 2015

Oh that's so bloomin' annoying and frustrating for you anno.

I do hope you get to come up another time (and I hope that I'm free then too).

I've been out most of the day and have only just caught up with all this. I'm so disappointed.
Hopefully we won't have to wait too long until Anno can come this way again, and maybe baubles and even more of us can make the trip.

Sorry everyone I'm having to cancel this visit to Edinburgh until the next time. Thank you Eleanor for your very kind offer of "digs" however I'll be unable to take you up on it this time. Please see PM. Hi everyone until we meet again.
If anyone's interested I'm at this moment up to my eyes since 5.30am
with baby stuff bottles, baby food and milk, sterilizer, dummies etc etc etc as I've had my 2 grandchildren staying overnight. Great fun and games. Love it. Take care everyone.

5.30 eh? Nice long lie! Not bad going under the circumstances!

I would love to have been able to come too. Trouble is, I have a long overdue dental appointment and can't cancel again. The poor man will think I don't love him. . Maybe next time. (Says she, wistfully).

After thinking about it and hearing how everyone feels, I have decided to cancel this meet-up. Its a bummer but there will be other days. Sorry everyone, You were all looking forward to it as much as I was. The only ray of sunshine is that if your train tickets were already bought, you will get the money back with no quibbling. Spend it all on treating yourself.

Here's to the next time.

Have just read that talks will resume today to try to avert the strike www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32941421 - so I think I shall wait for tomorrow to cancel just in case it all is settled. Don't cash in your tickets quite yet.

It happened to my sister a couple of weeks ago. She had train tickets for bank holiday Monday, heard about the strike and booked a flight (Heathrow - Edinburgh) then the strike was called off. Sod's Law!

There's been nothing on the news yet - wonder if they're still discussing?

They have adjourned until tomorrow.

OK! Hopefully, then.....

Jane10 hee hee hee

Think this probably a no goer this time. No further news re-strike as yet, I think they will hold out to last minute to decide. Thinking our train, if leaving at around 4 would probably terminate at Glasgow as strike set to start at 5.
Don't the powers ' that be ' know we had an important meet up? Quite prepared to risk the bus but will go with general concensus.

Ended tonight with no resolution. They're back again tomorrow. Elegran - are we going to be causing problems for ROSL with not being able to give them a definite booking?

I was going to phone ROSL tomorrow with a cancellation if there was a definite decision to hold the strike, but I wouldn't put it past them to keep talking until Thursday. I'm starting to think I should cancel anyway tomorrow (Monday) morning.

Just heard on the news that the strike's off. Are we going ahead, do you think, Elegran?

Well, I'm still game. How about everyone else?

I'm up for it! Think Elizabeth1 might be, too - I'll message her to see if she can still come.

I'm in, but will go with majority as what best to do.

Elizabeth1 won't be able to make it, but I'll go with the flow of what everyone else is doing.

I am in, but happy to go with the majority

I'm undecided. Bit low on energy. Can I see how tomorrow goes before deciding?

You can decide right up to the last minute, thatbags When I phone them (probably tomorrow) I shall include you in the final number, but one more or less won't make any difference.

Are you no' weel?

I am unable to make it on Thursday, sorry for the short notice.

So sorry but I have a funeral to go to at 12.30 on the 4th. I don't think I could be in Princes street before 1.45, so I am afraid I will have to either arrive very late or call off completely.
