So, you'll be queuing up around docklands tomorrow, then?

Unfortunately all too true about websites in general. Want to find a post office in a particular area ? Put in first half of postcode into Royal Mail's site as specified. So if you put SE1 it gives you all the post offices in SE1, and SE10 and SE11 and ...
Are they open on Saturdays (most in central London are not) ? Who knows ? They don't tell you.

VisitLondon is bad, but at least it's not VisitScotland.com It is truly pathetic.

That's what happens when a rubbish site designer meets with a rubbish management team and agrees on rubbish requirement specs for the website. Then a nerdy and speccy rubbish programmer codes the rubbish specs and the rubbish QA/Testers are rubbish at their jobs.
Then no-one with any power goes further than looking at the pretty front page.
It's no wonder half my life is spent trying to reassure non-techies that things will be OK when quite clearly so much IT is not OK.

On the basis of this post alone, it is DG who should be getting public funding from the Department of Culture etc etc. What a gross waste of public money, a team of London bloggers could do a better job.

Arrgh. I agree. Completely. Wholeheartedly.
I detest all events sites, I've never found one that's remotely usable the way I want to use it. They all assume that you've a vague idea of what you want to do, if you just try and browse you get 10 results per page and you have to click through each one to decide if you want to go.
Doesn't matter because there's no site that has decent listings for Edinburgh anyway...
::sigh::

It's just shockingly unthought-out database design.
A decent database designer could have designed it so that your query worked, whilst keeping recurring events going OK.

And I thought it was just me! Many a time I have wandered over to their website and come off none the wiser when what I really wanted was some ideas for somewhere to go. The TfL web site is better.

Buy a copy of Time Out, cheapskate.

Spacedog - it's not perfect, but the 'What's On?' section of The List magazine website has pretty good coverage for Edinburgh (or any other area of Scotland). The dating system is much better organised that that London website DG refers to as well. The URL is http://www.list.co.uk/whatson/index.php

Cheers Spider. That site looks like what I wanted.
