Bish Bash Bosh

I kind of avoided Bish Bash Bosh for a while as I’m a fan of Woodbridge Hardware next door, so I felt a bit like a traitor going inside.
That said, Bish Bash Bosh does sell literally everything, whereas Woodbridge Hardware is just … umm… hardware. As the name might suggest. This shop is great for all those utterly random household items that you wold have no idea where otherwise to purchase them, then this place will probably stock it. the amazing thing is that the the guy who works there (or is always there whenever I go in anyway) always has what I ask for and. more importantly, considering the crazy amount of random stuff thy have in there, always knows exactly where to find it.
The last time I went in I was looking for a very specific shape of clothes dryer. I knew exactly which type I wanted, but couldn’t find one anywhere other than (randomly) in Co-​op in Stirchley. Where for some odd reason they were £25 — which seemed an awful lot for a dryer to me. Anyway, I gave Bish Bash Bosh a try and, of course, thy had one. And it was £8 cheaper! I would definitely recommend this place for if you’re after cheap household items.

I love shops that sell everything. Want some multi coloured chalk? Tea towels? Watch batteries? How about some blank cds? A plastic flag? Some Tupperware? You get the idea.
Since it is right near to my house, whenever I am short for something of this kind of nature (or something actually useful like a dustbin) I will try Bish Bash Bosh before I panic and start googling for it. It’s a small bits n’ bobs store right next door to a hardware store (Macgyver would cream over these places).
If you can’t find what you’re looking for it’s probably in there somewhere and the guy who works there knows exactly where it will be so probably best to just ask as soon as you walk in rather than try to scour the place yourself.
Nice and cheap and a good location for that last minute panic when you run out of pushpins for your cork board and you absolutely have to stick that shopping list on there.

Tucked away down Woodbridge Road, the wares of Bish Bash Bosh spill onto the pavement beneath a cheerful sign in primary colours. It bills itself as «the anything and everything store» — though this isn’t completely true it does go a long way towards describing the contents of the shop. The product range is firmly in the budget end of the market, and there’s quite a lot in the way of household goods — it’s a great place to buy a cheap mop, broom or dustpan. You can also find things like cheap children’s toys, smoking paraphernalia or credit to make international phone calls. It appears to be pretty much a one man operation and that one man seems pretty relaxed when I go in. Ok, it’s never going to be hailed as innovative or ground breaking but it doesn’t claim to be any of those. It’s a shop that aims to sell households goods cheaply and cheerfully, something it manages with ease. Next time you’re in the market for some inexpensive cleaning products and you’re in the Moseley area, maybe you should give them a visit.
