They spent a considerable time explaining he process that would follow and were very good at keeping us informed. You cant choose your local police service, but I'm certainly glad to be in an area supported by this one.

Traveling through Scotland it is mandatory to take a stroll in the Royal Mile to see all the historic landmarks and whiskey stores. #1 See the iconic retro red British phone booths with the cool stickers. #2 Take a few pics with the Scottish guy in his kilt playing the bag pipes. #3 walk to the top of the Edinburgh Castle for a 360 degree view of the area. #4 Find the hidden Devil's Advocate Bar and have a cold craft beer. Great experience at the Royal Mile and cant wait to visit here again.

Greyfriars Bobby is one of Edinburgh's most popular tourist attractions. Located just in front of…read morethe entrance to the Greyfriars Kirk can be found the bronze statue of Bobby. Hundreds of fans flock here every day to pay their respects, all eager to get a closer look at their doggy hero. History and why it is famous- and trust me guys, he is inthe same league as Hachi- Bobby, born in 1856, was a Terrier who spent over 14 years guarding the grave of his beloved owner. John - a dedicated nightwatchman for the Edinburgh City Police Force - carried out his duties with his trusty companion night after night. After John's untimely death in 1858, Bobby refused to leave his master's grave until the day he died himself. The rumours about this little dog began to spread far and wide, and Bobby soon had quite the fan base. In 1867, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh presented him with his very own collar. This gesture signified that Bobby was a licensed dog, meaning that he was protected against the new law that had recently been enforced, which stated that all unlicensed dogs would be destroyed. Bobby passed away in January 1872, and as a final token of his loyalty, was buried close to his master in the Kirkyard. A granite fountain with a statue can be found opposite Greyfriars Kirkyard - a permanent memorial to this faithful pup. Bobby's grave can be found immediately inside the gate of Greyfriars Kirkyard. He was buried close to his much-loved John, ensuring that the pair's astonishing bond would never be broken. It is not uncommon for doting visitors to leave sticks, dog toys, and flowers on his grave.

It's the statue of a cute Skye Terrier named Bobby. A loyal dog who is said to have stayed at…read moreGreyfriars Kirkyard near his master's grave for 14 years until his death in 1872. He lived to be 16 years old with the help of the community who knew his master, John Gray. Bobby was buried in the courtyard entrance of the kirkyard near his grave. This statue is on Candlemaker Row across the street from Greyfriars Bobby Bar (named after this special little doggie). People continue to rub his nose for good luck. As you can see, the paint has rubbed off his nose. It's still a nice statue and tribute. We just happened to see it on our way to the National Museum of Scotland. It was a great little discovery.

For months I have been meaning to write this review. I shall keep this review brief, for I write…read morewith great disappointment. I have heard nothing but bad things about this establishment. Now, I can confirm that this venue is a DISGRACE to the beautiful KINGDOM OF SPAIN. Indeed, the few staff members in this venue are RUDE, VOLATILE, and seemingly incompetent. They cannot accurately record data, which is perhaps the most basic task of The Functionary. If someone submits a form, the least that can occur is that it is entered correctly into the computer system. But alas! Also, some of the public-facing staff are also fully unable to communicate. In Spanish or English. This is quite perturbing, given that their principal job competency is to communicate. Judging by the experiences of my Yelp colleagues, dear Humphrey and Sudeep, my experience is nothing new. Perhaps what is most impressive is that the staff of this establishment have managed to retain their jobs for at least six years. Seems like a low bar! Both Spain and Scotland deserve better. Two additional comments: (1) The website for this venue is out of date and poorly maintained. Sad! (2) The staff do not answer the phone, in English or Spanish. In fact, sometimes, when sufficient effort is mustered, the phone will be physically lifted from the receiver, only to be placed back into the receiver such that it is not answered. MAEC: if you are watching, you may wish to check in on this establishment. It is an oozing blemish on the face of Spain.

Don't answer the phone or emails. After 8 months of calling…read more, yes months! I pressed 3 instead of 1 on the phone and it was finally answered. well the lady who answered was extremely rude. Talked over me none stop, was absolutely peed off that I had the nerve to need help in the first place. Then hung up on m. Rude, rude, rude. The whole set ups a joke and an embarrassment to Spain.

I wondered if it was just me, until I looked at the other reviews…read more I overheard the man behind the counter being a bit of a Smart Alec to the customer before me in the queue. "Well, it IS a Post Office," he said to the elderly lady who had asked - politely - if she could buy a book of stamps. Equally charming to me, I'd have to say. I was berated because a stamp was falling off my envelope. "You've torn this off another envelope," he said, and refused to accept my assurance that I had stuck the stamp on straight out of a booklet 20 minutes earlier. Unnecessarily rude and confrontational. Also, I know it's Christmas, but the queue was out of the door, and only one (awful) man serving, taking his own sweet time. Picking arguments for fun, it would seem.

I have a slight hearing defect. He was beckoning for me to raise my mobile so he can scan the QR code but I misunderstood his command at the start. He became annoyed in his tone. He asked me "you can't hear me"? I told him not really. It was then he turned a microphone on, I told him that was better. He then asked me to take the items out of the bag and pass them over to him. This I might say was not clearly communicated and I was trying my best to push each items under the small opening. As I have never used the service before, I did not understand that the counter could slide back to facilitate the items. Eventually, I understood what he failed to Communicate to me. He angrily pulled back the shaft and I said to him that he did not need to be that aggressive. He responded that he was not being aggressive and I reiterated that yes you were. He asked how it was that he was being aggressive and I said that your manner in pulling back the shaft and your general tone in speaking to me. He said he can pull back anyway he wants and tried to turn it around that I was the one being aggressive. I asked him politely to just continue to do his job as I did not want this to escalate any further. My problem with his behaviour is that he does not fit for working in customer service. If this was a disabled person with sensory defects, he would have totally ruined their confidence. Not every disability is visible. He needs to get retrained on how to be a customer service personnel. He was rude and condescending. I would NOT do business with this office in the future. Very poor interaction that has thrown off my entire day.
