Sunshine on Leith
I was in boots the Chemist the other day - and read an incredible statistic.
Apparently 'unused medicines' cost the NHS in Scotland - £100 million every year - which is a truly staggering waste of public money.
So why don't we get a public campaign going - for people to be much more careful over their medicines and prescriptions.
Because this would save a small fortune - which could be put to a much better use.
If enough people get involved - the money that's saved could go towards extending the Edinburgh trams another 100 metres or so.
Say from St Andrew Square down to Picardy Place.
And that would be a 'win win' solution all round.
Since the the NHS would stamp out waste - and save money.
While the long-suffering citizens of Leith would finally get something to show - for all the years of disruption caused by the Edinburgh trams.
