Once again Moseley threw open it’s doors to show the people of Birmingham that we really know how to party. This years street fair saw the usual heady cocktail of junk that people found in their lofts and questionable political agendas.

Using the patented Eye on Moseley quality indicator we have attempted to prove whether it really “wasn’t as good as last year”. Our calculations show that with an increase of visitor numbers of 7%, an improved weather indices of 4% but no dancing bear in real terms the street fair was approximately 2.25% worse than in previous years. No, real cause for concern but this decline can be halted through careful thought and massaging the figures.

Even if you were to totally ignore our pseudo scientific analysis it is the visitors themselves that best sum up the day. One lady that had come from as far away as Erdington told us “I came to find out about the inherent problems caused by the inexorable march of global capitalism. I didn’t expect to able to buy a lovely cushion as well.”
