Lopped off Fringe

Fringe performers are accusing Edinburgh of pricing them into extinction. Accommodation costs are soaring – some doubling in two years. Soon, only rich show-offs, or people ready to blow their savings, will be there.
    The city council is doing a ‘not me, Gov’ about the situation, which is not very helpful to the young (and older) show-offs. And, no doubt, looking forward to collecting the visitor tax which will be imposed from next year.
