Nottingham's most opinionated greengrocers on...
ELECTIONS
We’re not very good at predicting them. We learned our lesson after Brexit. We’re very Labour around here; their manifesto is excellent, but hard to pull off. The Conservatives are money grabbers, voting Green or Lib Dem is pointless, and you’d have to be a loony to vote UKIP. More than anything, we can’t stand people who don’t vote.
PETS
We don’t like them at all. What’s the point? When we bought the shop it came with this mangy cat. It cost us a fortune at the vets and we had to pay for it to go to a pets home every time we went on holiday. We couldn’t stand the bloody thing. Luckily it got run over.
THE GLASTONBURY MAN
Last issue we mentioned a man who comes into the shop and goes to Glastonbury every year. There’s been lots of chatter on Facebook since, with customers asking if it’s them. So, to be clear, his name is Dan. We found out he wasn’t on the computer fast enough to get a ticket this year.
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?
