new here

I'm new here, so just testing my posting abilities.
Apologies for the disturbance.

MrX

p.s I'll be back soon - I have plenty to add to the various debates.

So where did you go to then?

I'm lurking here, just finding my feet. I like to see what people are
saying, consider my view, then put something online. I will keep my
promise. The best is yet to come.
I've just got back from the brand new SYHA Edinburgh Central. I intend
on a full review asap.
In summary; "5 star excellence" and "Best hostel in the UK" are a few
reasonable headlines.

The detail will follow.

I think that a review would be better posted here:

Go on, be a devil, venture an opinion without hearing everyone else's.

This news group is low-traffic enough without everybody waiting for
everybody else to post first.

Hear hear Chris, no point lurking on here, if you want to say something
go ahead and do it.

Do you mean that you'd prefer to see a review there instead of here?
Why? Or rather, what's your objection to someone posting a review here?
It's a quiet group, but there are a fair few people looking in to see
what's happening. I'd say by all means post elsewhere, but may we have
it here as well please?

Just that there is a forum set up there specifically for reviews. By all
means post a link to it here; why should I object to that?

I've no idea, which was why I asked. People have posted reviews here in
the past and hopefully will continue to do so. Posting them elsewhere
is not contraindicated - but I'd be sorry to see them disappear from
here.

"I've just come back from Much Comely In The Marsh hostel and I have to
say it was superb. It will be even better when they get the hole in the
roof fixed, and the showers would be improved by some sort of
temperature control, but over all the hostel is very good.
Unfortunately while I was there there was an outbreak of food poisoning;
however that is hopefully only a temprorary blib which could be
prevented in the future by insisting that kitchen staff wash their hands
before handling food...."

That sort of species of kidney.

I often go self-cooking which means if I get some sort of bug it's my
fault!(:-)
