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.

- 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

Holding Out For A Hero
Posted in Story on Aug 4th, 2005
Bonnie Tyler might well have been looking for a hero since 1984 but it goes without saying that her search would have been considerably shorter if she lived in Moseley. When publicity shy, Liberal Democrat candidate, Martin Mullaney foiled a burglary he once again made the streets of Moseley safe for us mere mortals. According [...]
Hide Your Stash

In a bid to impress the world, West Midlands police have once again chosen Moseley for another of their innovative (some say bonkers) crime fighting strategies. On Sunday, they unveiled their latest weapon in the fight against drugs: Kiddie Coppers. DCI Birch of the Moseley police force explained the rational behind using pre-school toddlers against [...]
Imperial Menace

Local drug dealers were once again up in arms after West Midlands police issued a new and shocking edict. A change in policy by the police means that dealers can now be prosecuted for dealing in imperial measures. In a bid to meet recent European Directives concerning weights and measures the less than catchy 3.5 [...]
Resistance Is Futile

When much loved community policeperson Sergeant Tracey Packham decided to move on to the Operations Centre at Belgrave Road, Woodbridge Road saw the opportunity to finally clamp down on crime in Moseley. As all local residents know crime is running out of control in downtown Moseley. With daily shootings and gangs of crack whores roaming [...]
