1) 'Yer
diggin' it round, when it
ortta be square!' Ah yes, the immortal childhood lyrics sung by Bernard
Cribbins. Birmingham City Council are ignoring them at their peril as they dig another ruddy great hole in the city centre. This one will eventually morph into the new Central Library. So, 'watch this space'. Literally.
2) Always something going on in Birmingham. Today it's a Food Fair. A splendid opportunity for people to make money from hungry people like us. But first we have to get David's hair cut and do some shopping. That should work up an
appetite.
3) This is what Aussies eat all the while (oh yes). In true Ocker-
style we enquire whether the burgers come with 'the lot'? The cook (we hesitate to say chef) looks at us blankly. Something tells us he is
un-Australian. Good job David's got an appointment at the barbers or he'd have to barrack the bloke.
4) An hour and a half later and we are ready to sample some street cuisine. Vicky's tackling some chicken noodles which, she explains, are not a patch on the ones we had at the Chinese New Year.
5) David, on the other hand, never one to be backward coming forward at meal times, has already polished off his chicken paella whilst Vicky queued up for her noodles. Very nice too, is his verdict.
