Nottingham's most opinionated grocers on...
People we lost in 2023
Bobby Charlton, what a true gentleman. Football just came naturally to him and you could see that by the way he played and the way he carried himself. Then there was Tina Turner, who had a good career but you can’t help thinking she was a poor woman’s Diana Ross. There was Shane MacGowan, although he’d looked like he was on his last legs for years. We’ve never heard of Jerry Springer or Matthew Perry. Are they American?
Euro 2024
Where is it this year? Germany hey? Well that ought to be exciting. The German team hasn’t been very good recently, but they always seem to come good for major tournaments – particularly as they’re hosting. England ought to have a chance too - it’s not far to travel with a similar climate. We’ve been better under Southgate than we have been for years, although not as good as the women. So yeah we’ll give it a watch, it’s something to look forward to.
Godzilla vs Kong
We’ve never watched any of their previous films, so we don’t know who will win this one. The idea of it sounds a bit silly to us. If we had to bet then we’d say Kong will win as Godzilla is bound to be the baddie of the two. Wasn’t there quite a famous actress in the original King Kong? Ah yes, Fay Wray. Will she be back to make an appearance in this?
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?
