    Ive always thought the fences were very low for the drop
    Riding a bicycle and youre above the fence
    Tyre blows and youre over the edge

    Yes I agree it's the same with the Forth Road Bridge

    I really don’t think that’s likely. I’ve ridden over there loads and you’d have to be on a penny farthing!.
    Tragically people do take their own life on there though. A friend of mine and at least one other on here did. If raised fences at least slow down people trying to so they have longer to think or longer for someone to come out to them that can’t be a bad thing.

    Never understood why it's quite easy to get to, i know the golden gate bridge has a net underneath it as another example of prevention.

    No , it might feel like that when you're riding a bike but there's no way
    you're going to go over the barrier accidentally , they do actually think
    about things like that

    Yes rovertiger, of course he was miserable, he could have seen to four other customers in the time it took to cut your mop top. :emoticon-0138-think

    I walked past a barbers in the West End of Glasgow a couple of weeks back...£32 for a gents haircut!!!

    No wonder I'm a right 'miserable twat' and get one of my Daughter's to cut it.

    £32 FFS.

    My barber is a QPR fan, fortunately I'm two weeks away from needing a haircut. :emoticon-0138-think

    Walked alongside Queens Gardens , for some reason on the South side strange fishing Rod type lamp posts put up . They look really crap and if meant to be a ‘fishing’ related idea then they are completely wrong .

    They're not supposed to be fishing rods, they're to represent the cranes that used to line the dockside...

    Think that's a 'wait and see' style.

    Because they look a bit crap.

    Ok maybe could have been a bit better . I like all the paving it’s a fantastic park to walk through due to its surroundings .
