Beau Brummie tells the Birmingham Mail why he disappeared
Jan 24 2009 EXCLUSIVE By Colin Tattum
THE strange case of Birmingham City’s disappearing mascot took a new twist today – when Beau Brummie himself came forward to explain why he went walkies.
The popular bulldog revealed that far from being held in ruff conditions by a prankster who pinched his mask, he was enjoying a new leash of life.
And he asked friends to contact the Birmingham Mail and issue a ransom-style note that would guarantee his return to St Andrew’s.
In true cloak and dagger fashion, our man at the Blues Colin Tattum was instructed to rendezvous with a go-between in a pub car park just off the A45 Coventry Road, in Sheldon.
A shadowy figure, who refused to give his name, said Beau was in good health and ‘being kept in Pedigree Chum’.
He handed over photos of Beau working behind a Chelmsley Wood bar, taking driving lessons and generally living like a pampered pooch.
The go-between said: “Beau’s just taking a few days out because he’s a bit dog tired.
“He asked us to pass on the letter because he’s got a few things he feels he has to say – or rather bark.”
