Moseley long compared with some of the great cities of the world has made a bid to usurp Paris as a recognised centre of culture. The impromptu cafe culture that has developed on the streets of Moseley has brought an exciting new “cosmopolitan” attitude to it’s residents. This cultural shift was brought about by the many local eateries that encourage their patrons to sit in the street and eat their dinner. A representative of the Moseley Traders Association told us “Before it was street drinkers and a big bag of chips but now with a few tables and chairs it looks like the tree lined boulevards of Paris. I bet you can’t get chiken tikka in a naan in Paris, oh no.”
The obvious problems of sitting a few feet from a busy road doesn’t seem to bother locals who like nothing more than sipping Chianti and watching the world go by. Though the world does tend to stop quiet a lot and ask if you’ve got any change or even a spare cigarette.
As of yesterday “Willy” was once again incomprehensible.
