Thanks for adding this. Have seen it from a cyclists’ point of view too. It’s not clickbait as it’s actually there IRL.

Aye he's a master of capturing the feel of the weather. And well worth a follow on here: @tomduffinphotos.bsky.social

Haha, I genuinely wish those ones were accurate. Would be so useful.

Ahoy @edinburghlive.co.uk get your 'battered' and your 'braced for' out.

Jobs available in Edinburgh - Week Commencing 26.01.26 : Edinburgh Social Enterprise Network 21 different paid positions available in Edinburgh now, including 2 organisations looking for CEO’s, 4 boards looking to recruit and a multitude of voluntary positions 🙋‍♂️ Jobs available with Balerno...

🤝 Once again the Edinburgh Social Enterprise Network has listed 21 jobs available this week, including two orgs looking for CEOs, marketing, events and community roles, as well as voluntary positions. More details here: esen.scot/jobs-availab...

Actually yeah, it's no joke. Deleted.

Ha, yes, that would do the trick. And a furious quote calling it a 'forest of roadsigns' or something like that would help too. Maybe even the local journalists at @edinburghnews (not on Bluesky for some reason) or @edinburghlive.co.uk might even contact you and follow it up if they cared.

Any chance you can state when something is London or Edinburgh in the posts? 💚
