In our urban Birmingham environment the birds are few and far between and the ones we did see all look the same. No one wants to go out looking for pigeons and the seagulls are a major annoyance these days. So to inject a bit of fun into our urban environment, we at FindaPhoneNumber have started a new game: Find a phone number.
This weeks game takes place in the delightful Selly Oak, our very own university quarter. The game involves searching for some phone numbers around our beautiful quarter. Those of you who have lived in Birmingham for a long time may recognise some of the featured business and shops. Others will need to go out and find the numbers themselves. The photo of the shopfront of this week’s featured businesses show the phone number and a portion of the logo or name of the comoany. But do you know the business? If not go out and find them. If you find all of the names please feel free to contact us on: findaphonenumber.uk@gmail.com, with your thoughs on the business and your own photographs.
The aim of this page is to encourage interaction with the great businesses thta keep Selly oak and the rest of Birmingham ticking. Good luck, good people, go Find a Phone Number….
