Corned beef and middle-class road rage both feature in this month's Overheard in Notts...

Overheard

“He wanted to share my corned beef”

 

Man 1: D'ya see that electric car almost drove me over?

Man 2: Yeah! How'd he miss ya?

Man 1: I know! I'm like a speed bump

 

“It’s like going to Nottingham and instead of going to the castle, you end up in ‘Glory Holes’.”

 

“Please can you get your food out of my face and stick it in yours.”

 

“'I’m just gonna go and neurodiverge from whatever is happening here.”

 

“Everyone takes the piss out of me because I'm vegetarian.”

 

Overheard in West Bridgford out of a car window, the most polite, middle class road rage ever: "Madam, your impatience does not trump my right of way.”

 

Taxi driver: "The good thing about students... they can be stupid, but at least they're not dangerous"

 

"Britain, where every other man is your local drunk."
