The twins are back with some thoughts...

Nottingham Castle
They should open it back up and charge a minimal amount of money for people to enter, because they got it wrong before - people couldn’t afford to go. Let the people of Nottingham enjoy it; it shouldn’t be private, it’s ours. If they put on special events, like beer festivals, then sure, charge for them. But anybody should be able to visit the grounds. 

Coffee Shops
Stewarts is the best coffee in the land, it’s gorgeous. And it’s near you lot at LeftLion! We got some Christmas presents for people; ground and unground. They went down very well. The people inside Blend are very charming and helpful too. We don’t have much coffee, though. We have it maybe once a year? We drink loads of tea. Simple. Breakfast. Tea. It’s unbeatable. 

Emily Campbell
Do you know what’s so good about Emily? She shows that if you’re keen and put your mind to something, you’ll get on. She’s done a marvellous job for women in weightlifting. And she doesn’t talk posh, she’s a normal person who’s achieving great things. She did Bulwell proud. They need to name a gym after her, or a council building, or a tram!

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?
