Homebase Bishopbriggs closing - excellent discounts
Homebase is closing its branch on the Strathkelvin Retail Park on August 23rd, which is shame, because all of two doors down is an (admittedly massive) B&Q Warehouse, and I shall miss running between the two and playing them off each other for prices ;) It's not exactly an organised store anymore, and half the store was…

Hovercraft, Portobello to Kirkcaldy
Great idea but I have heard that should you try to board at Portobello, you can't. You have to go to Ocean Terminal or Edinburgh to get a ticket on the bus to the boarding point. Hope I'm wrong!
