    3. The fact that there's a shop called "The Brotique".

    4. And a hotel with a £2,995 50 Shades package.

    5. Ice cream vans? No. Edinburgh has a fucking crème brûlée van instead.

    6. And a cheese toastie restaurant.

    7. Then there's the insanity of paying £5 for this at Edinburgh's Christmas market.
