The (new?) place to see and be seen
Move over Birmingham Forward, cast aside the Chamber, dispense with the IOD. I've discovered a hot new networking option for the city.
Forgive me if I'm terribly behind the times. I suspect I came to this rather late as I was clearly not a regular when I popped in this week. The good news is that there's no membership fee and you pay just £4.50 to enter during the day, and less in the evenings.
Before Richard, Jerry and John choke on their morning coffees, I should reveal that I'm talking about the services on the M6 Toll which is clearly the networking venue of choice for some of Birmingham's professionals.
I did feel like a stranger walking into a Wild West saloon to be greeted by stony silence and worried looks, but I suspect that was more do to with one group of people who were clearly having a clandestine meeting.
It all made Starbucks on Colmore Row look very tame...

I'm worried about these potential chokers, who are they?
costa mocha excellent there - get the one in the chamber pot (I think that's what it is) ... but I hate the way we're adopting America-style food courts: Corley is particularly vile
Hi Jon (or should that be no 14?)
Richard Brennan runs Birmingham Forward, Jerry Blackett the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, and John Philips the Institute of Directors.
No.39 (who thinks she may have strayed into an episode of The Prisoner, as everyone keeps refering to her by number only)
Ah, Motorway services food.
Special offer, one for the price of two.
