Overheard in Notts: November 2025

Saturday 29 November 2025
reading time: min, words

Another month's instalment of Overheard in Notts and this time, greedily, we're honing in on battered sausages, packets of hobnobs and all you can eat buffets...

Overheard

"Would you like to smell my beard?”

"Feel my battered sausage, It’s still warm!"
 

“My nan's ninety and she's vaped every day of her life.”
 

“Whenever I see old people I smile at them to let them know I'm not gang affiliated.”~

“I'm never gonna find a woman who makes me as happy as a kebab does.”
 

“Aldi? Lidl? I thought it were the same shop…”
 

“You need fruit, you need fruit and Jesus.”
 

“I don’t think you can get concussed by a packet of hobnobs. Not with the number you get in them these days.”

Middle Aged Man outside Wetherspoons: “I love you, you know that.”
Older man, possibly his Dad: “It's the wrong colour trampoline.”
 

Woman in Post office: “Do you sell stamps?”
 

"Not all buffets are all-you-can-eat... But all all-you-can-eats are buffets."
 

“Now that probably is more grimoires than most people have.”

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?
