I once remarked in company that the worst street in Europe for the pitiful junk sold in its shops must be the main street from the railway station to the city centre in Amsterdam. Somebody at once asked: "Worse than the Royal Mile?", to which I was able to give an unreserved "Yes", since the rubbish on display in the Royal Mile is, at the very least, not pornographic rubbish. So take heart, Edinburgh, as you embark on the Herculean task of making one of your showpiece streets mor
