Nottingham's most opinionated green grocers...
GOOSE FAIR
We used to go every year as it’s near our birthday, but the rides these days are enough to kill you. As you get older, it all seems less appealing. We used to love the Divebomber, the Magic Carpet and the Wall of Death. The rides were only half a crown in those days, but you barely get change from a fiver now.
HALLOWEEN
We can’t stand it. It’s a thing imported from America for demented children to try and scare us. Although, we will be selling pumpkins in the shop for between £1 and £1.50 if people want to buy them. You can eat the insides too, although personally we think that pumpkin is one of the more vile of vegetables.
STUDENTS ARE BACK
Good! They bring life back to the city. The city centre is full of student accommodation and no-one lives in it for three months a year. That whole area around Trent Uni is like some kind of thirties wasteland from June to September when they go back home.
ITALIAN FOOTBALL
Are they any good at it? They’ve won the World Cup a few times, we suppose. Plus, they’ve got the Pope on their side.
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
