Your Hatters Hostel

We all know Birmingham is famous for being the Home of Metal. With the likes of Black Sabbath, Robert Plant and Judas Priest hailing from Birmingham and the West Midlands Region. St Pauls Gallery, just around the corner from the hostel, regularly features work from Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) and Roger Waters (Pink Floyd). Check it out. . Anyway, here’s a little secret about Birmingham not as publicised as the Home Of Metal thing, Cadbury World, the Jewellery Quarter or the fact that J.R.R Tolkien grew up here … THE MULLET. Yes, that’s right. THE MULLET. Walking through the near deserted streets of Birmingham on Easter Sunday one thing was more noticable than anything else. It wasn’t the lack of people on the normally bustling streets or the more laid back than normal atmosphere of the city centre. It was the amount of Mullets about the place. It wasn’t just the quantity of Mullets but the pure ‘quality of mull’, or high mull-factor, about the place being worn with pride by these unsung Heroes of Birmingham. .

As a result, I feel obliged to pay homage to these legends with a new weekly feature on our blog, “Mullet of the Week” as well as a fantastic special offer. Any guest at Hatters Birmingham with a mullet that makes the grade and gets featured on “Mullet of the Week” will get  50% off their 2nd night. WOW!!!

. . . .OUR VERY FIRST MULLET OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to Oscar Reinhardt (pictured below) from a village just outside Munich in Germany.  On accepting the coveted Mullet of the Week award he said,  “Das ist wunderbar“, ” I copied my style from one that Ozzy Osbourne sported in the 80s” in his strong German Accent

Many thanks to all the people that entered and didn’t quite cut the mustard this time. Why not submit your flowing locks in a month or 2? Oscar, our champ this week, uses this neat little rhyme to get that perfectly conditioned silky soft mullet:

Timotei, twice a week, Gets yer Mullet soft and sleek. . . . . . ..

Hatters Hostels Ltd. would like to re-assure everyone that no Mullets were harmed or abused in any way in the creating of this post.
