In 1976 Phil Lynott told us “Tonight there’s gonna be jailbreak”. Little did residents of Moseley know that only 33 years later this prophecy would come all too shockingly true. Although details of Thursday’s daring prisoner escape are still a little bit patchy it would appear that hardened criminals decided to release themselves in downtown Moseley. [...]

- Re: local dentist August 14, 2010While I know Kirsty Irvine herself has a good reputation, I was really unimpressed, for a raft of reasons, with her Wake Green Rd practice while I was a patient there (seeing various dentists and the hygienist) before it stopped offering NHS treatment. And I'm one of those rare/weird souls who doesn't mind going to the dentist at all (I prefer goin […]regengirl
- Roast Potatoes August 13, 2010Not a recipe, but a really amazing tip that really does work. Making roast poatoes, when putting your par-boiled taters in to roast, sprinkle semolina powder liberally all over the spuds. The difference it makes to the finished roasties is remarkable. […]Bill Lees

- Re: local dentist August 13, 2010Thanks for that, but Kirsty's surgery doesn't offer anything stronger than a jab in the gum and I was kinda hoping for happy gas or IV, which I managed to find at one surgery. No reflection on said surgery, but am I alone in thinking that dental practice is still bit primitive, when it's considered OK to rip a molar out of your gum or perform […]Geoff
- Re: local dentist August 6, 2010More a sort of anti-recommendation. Although they do take NHS patients I didn't enjoy going to the dentist opposite the Hare and Hounds in King's Heath — very conveyor-belt service and I wasn't very happy with the work either.I now go to a place on the outskirts of Solihull which is much better, but not NHS and not cheap (http://www.dentist-fi […]bounder
- Re: local dentist August 6, 2010I haven't been for a while myself but Kirsty Irvine's practice on Wake Green Rd (next to the doctors) comes highly recommended. All the dentists (KIrsty, Sarah and - I think - Oliver?) are very nice and take time to make sure you know exactly what they're doing, and that you're not nervous. And it's not a clinical-looking place at al […]editorialgirl

There was dancing in the streets when the Moseley Ward Committee announced it was going to allocate vast amounts of its considerable funds to providing us with an integrated CCTV system. On hearing the news some residents stated that even before the cameras have been installed they feel as much as 16% safer than they [...]
Sounds Of Summer
Posted in Story on Aug 4th, 2005
The sound of wood on leather is a common sound around the leafy suburbs of Moseley during midsummer. Unusually last month it wasn’t the typical sound of the Moseley cricket club but the dawn chorus of the local police kicking peoples doors in. The Police launched their largest ever operation in Moseley and Balsall Heath [...]
Moseley Not as Hard as it Used to Be
Posted in Story on Aug 4th, 2005
Moseley street criminals were said to be despondant yesterday about the sudden dip in local crime. A hastily convened meeting of social misfits looked at ways that this worrying trend can be redressed. The initiatives discussed were banding together in Mad Max style groups and a rigorous policy of shop lifting. One local criminal who [...]
