Trams, Tourists and Traffic Wardens

Hello there. This is the first in an occassional series of words and thoughts from a dynamic, modern accounting firm who in a previous decade would have been referred to as "The Bean Counters".

Like most folk in Edinburgh, we can't actually get out to see our clients in August because of the three T's that get in the way of daily transportation.

- Trams (apparently some tram rails have now been laid on Princes Street)
- Tourists (recession? what recession!)
- Traffic Wardens (Can anyone explain why I can't park on a yellow line on a Sunday?)

Of course wearing a suit and tie on the Royal Mile on a sunny Monday makes you a magnet for overseas visitors to ask for directions to The Scott Monument, Scottish Parliament, The Fudge Shop, Arthurs Seat and (I kid you not) Berwick-on-Tweed.

Sure beats answering questions about S419, IR35 etc.
