Council Leader Jenny Dawe's April encyclical waxes lyrical about the imminent arrival of Edinburgh's first tram.
It is to be displayed at an unspecified date, in an unspecified location, so that the city's adoring masses can ooh at the 'quality of the vehicle' and aah at its size, experiencing 'for the first time how many passengers can be carried'.
This, she assures us, 'will be a real milestone for the project'.
Hmm. The words 'cart', 'before' and 'horse' spring to mind.
