Free the Kings Heath One!
The imprisonment of journalists is a blight on any nation that values freedom of expression. And it is something I never thought I would encounter here in the good old democratic UK.
Especially not the imprisonment of a hack simply going about his unthreatening business as a restaurant reviewer.
Yet on Friday night, at Maison Mayci in Kings Heath, I found myself incarcerated....in the khazi.
No sinister plot to prevent me passing judgment on my meal (very pleasant, by the way....). Simply a case of a dodgy lock in the toilet door.
A few hammer blows to the door brought help and I was released....to the amusement of fellow diners, especially my wife.
My review of Maison Mayci appears in Thursday's Birmingham Mail, by the way.
