Nottingham's most opinionated greengrocers on...
Nottingham Croquet Club
We went yesterday for a taster and messed around on the green for two hours with some flat shoes on. It’s old fashioned, but good fun. We liked it and we’ve decided to sign up. Our next step is that we’ll be on a seven-week course learning how to get those balls through the hoops.
Favourite TV Magicians
David Nixon was brilliant, although it might just be that we enjoyed growing up and watching his assistant Anita Harris. You also have to mention Tommy Cooper. However, the best of all-time, even though he had a bit of an annoying voice, has to be Paul Daniels. He was just a superb magician and the kind of talent you only see once in a lifetime.
Magic tricks
We can’t do any ourselves. We can’t even juggle three things and we’re surrounded by fruit all day. There was a magician supporting The Four Tops when we went to see them play at The Commodore. He did that trick where you pull razor blades out of his mouth and unfortunately he did it rather badly. You could see the wires for a start, but he also got them all tangled up together. That was messy!
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?
