The Bureau de Change of the Mind - 'Can You Knit Chocolate?'

Elis James and John Robins

Available for over a year

We've made our way to Walsall this week, Bloxwich to be more precise, and find ourselves in a rare type of Bureau de Change. For this is a completely analogue Bureau where exchange rates are checked via post. Sure, that might mean that rates are out by a few percentage points here and there, but it all evens itself out in the end. Our two unnamed workers of the Bureau touch on the questions that matter: why are Bloxwichians so nosy? Is Wednesbury the beating heart of Bloxwich? And of course the question that matters most: can you knit chocolate? All is revealed within.
