Nottingham's most opinionated grocers on...
BREXIT'S EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF FRUIT AND VEG
It won’t affect it at all. Courgettes, spinach and other things from Spain are expensive at the moment – but that’s just because they’ve got snow. Even the bigger ones like Aldi will be fine. Have you seen that big warehouse they’ve built just off the A50? They’re exporting more fruit and veg from there than they’re importing. I think their bosses have told Angela Merkel that she needs to be kind to us because they do more business over here nowadays than they do over there.
DONALD TRUMP'S INAUGURATION
He’ll have a hard job on being worse than Ronald Reagan was. We didn’t watch the inauguration, but we heard that a lot of people he wanted to play at it turned him down. He should have asked that woman from Love Actually who filed for bankruptcy to play it. Martine McCutcheon. She wouldn’t let him down. She could probably do with a few bob too.
IS IT GOING TO SNOW?
It’s probably too late in the year for it to happen now. But if it does we’ll be up Woodthorpe Park straight away with our sledges. We have a couple of fantastic sledges. And some lovely gloves too – you need them in this weather. There’s a tea hut up Woodthorpe Park nowadays too. It’s hardly ever open at the right time, but it’s still better than not having one at all.
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?
