Banksy, beavers and nine thousand pound fish all feature in this month's Overheard in Notts - 

Overheard

First lad: “What actually is a tram?”
Second lad: “It’s like a train that’s been taken apart.”

 

“I don’t care about getting kidnapped, as long as there’s no wasps I’m fine.”

 

In The Bodega smoking area: “Did you know that David Byrne invented Autism.”

 

“Are you someone who thinks about spirituality?”
“Not when I’m outside Zara, no.”

 

Deep dramatic voice over the garden fence: “Right, bastard - slow down, you being of haste!”

 

“You can say that but my mate just bought a nine thousand pound fish.”

 

“Not behind a tree, I wouldn’t do that.”

 

Grandad: “D’ya know who Banksy is? He sprays pictures on walls.”
Kid: “But is he allowed?”

 

“My beaver is really growing out.”
