Nottingham's most opinionated grocers on Mansfield, The Death of Robin Hood, and vaccinations
Mansfield
We’ve not been to Mansfield… it’s north isn’t it? We got our Covid jab in Mansfield though, and we saw Judie Tzuke at the Palace Theatre there. Mansfield is famous for loads of things but mainly the viaduct that goes through the town. When it was the millennium and they had it done up. It’s a magnificent piece of architecture. So go to Mansfield and that’s what you’ve got. Good luck to them.
The Death of Robin Hood
Who’s in it? Nobody can beat Errol Flynn. He was a superstar. That one is so funny, just tongue in cheek nonsense. Was it filmed in this country - and if not why not? The Kevin Costner one was - that was filmed in Northumberland. But they shouldn’t have American accents. It’s bleedin’ Nottingham. Have a Mansfield accent if you’re going to have an accent.
Vaccinations
Smallpox, well thousands of people died from it before the jab, then they had it and nobody died. It’s as plain and simple as that. People will object until they die of it, and then they complain. You don’t hear from them after that, they’re all dead. Nowadays people believe what they read on the internet. They used to say, ‘Lies, damn lies, and statistics’, now they say ‘Lies, damn lies and the internet’.
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?
