It's another instalment of Overheard in Notts - this month we focus in on pork pies, cable cars, and the Morrisey of Mapperley...

Overheard

"I don't want my ringpiece going viral!"

 

"The pork pie incident?"

 

Guy outside the bodega: "They call me the Morrissey of Mapperley"

 

Girl on tram, about Market Square Beach: “'Is this s'posed to be the Christmas market, just a bit early?”

 

“Do you think pigeons are government spies?”

 

Overheard at bus stop on Mansfield Road: "Can a vegetable survive the failure of definition?"

 

“It's a milti-mullion pound screw up!”

 

“I'm not in the Masons, nor shall I ever be”

 

“A cablecar is easily the worst getaway vehicle”

 

“Go for a wee and think about tax”

 

“Notts County? They still going?"
