Like Julia, I tend not to tire of referring to Cock-Burn street by it's phonetic pronunciation, which sounds slightly like the kind of ailment you'd find after getting a bit carried away down Lothian Road. It's one of the streets I know best in Edinburgh, but a trip up is always tinged with sadness as I remember Fopp and Uber-Disko, two of the best DJ and vinyl shops around, which have sadly now made way for a drugs information clinic and whatever is currently a couple of doors down from Avalanche. I forget.\n\nRetail has to move with the times however, and while I do miss my old favourites, I'm glad to see that it's quirky and oddball stores such as Cutie House and Supa Kuru that have came in to brighten up the place rather than the usual soulless dross.\n\nFantastic ice-cream at Toddle Inn as well, and in Underground Solu'shn, at least one store is keeping the \"crisp biscuits\" alive.
