After a day's lecturing in Birmingham (that's Birmingham England, Not Birmingham Alabama) I take in the German (Actually Frankfurt) street market. I did eat one of the half metre long Bratwurst sausages (they snap them in half to get them into a regular hot dog sized bun), I have to say it didn't taste of much but I got it down me with a pint of very decent German beer.

I have no idea what tune this device is playing, but it was impressive. There was a lot more of the market than this, if you live near Birmingham I should get down there if you can.
