As you read this, advance copies of the September Spurtle are already spreading across the barony like bakery bags (asking you to dispose of them thoughtfully) in kerbside bushes.
Issue 365 begins with exceptional caution before sliding by way of brie to a bridge. We encounter a monster and questionable gynaecologist, en route.
On Page 2 we look at plans for the future, strategic smarming and more signage in wrong places. We anticipate photos, report litter, count bicycles and anticipate unwelcome bears and other brown things popping up and causing a nuisance.
Bad behaviour, unfairness and the perils of bleating feature on Page 3, as does railing against a dangerous driver. We cover news about rats and news from solicitors, kidnap, darts and moves to protect an erection of national importance.
Page 4 concludes with eye-watering expense, eye-watering hospitality and an eyebrow-raising way to remove cones from Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle’s greatest admirer.
In short and in great detail, we have all you need to know about everywhere between Pilrig, Canonmills, Stockbridge and the sunlit uplands of Calton Hill.
You can pick up free paper copies from all the usual outlets (pubs, cafes, libraries, shops and services) across Spurtleshire or download an equally free pdf from our website here first thing on the 1st.
