I got a message from a friend today which read along the lines of "I know we were going to meet in Edinburgh today, but do you fancy meeting in Portobello instead and trying to fix the clock in the old police station with me?"

I don't know about you, but clambering around the dusty nineteenth century clock tower of an abandoned police station sounds an ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon to me, so I jumped at the chance.
