Out-of-towners wouldn't understand
Every place has its quirks. Nottinghamshire is no different. A few weeks ago, we asked you to fill in our survey on growing up here. We received some wonderful responses on how you spent your childhood here - from the shops, to the best hangout spots.
Now for a bit of "Nottinghamese". One of you mentioned a "twitchell" in our survey. That's a narrow passage between two buildings, like an alleyway. Looking for a shortcut? Try the twitchell. A number of you said "Everyone met at 'The Left Lion'." That's one of the two lion sculptures outside the Council House, sometimes affectionately called Leo or Lennie.
True, Nottingham city ends at the Trent here, though that'd be an easier distinction to make in the past when the area wasn't so built up. "City Ground" comes from Forest's old Town Ground, which was renamed in 1897 in honour of Nottingham's city status. They took the name to their current stadium they moved.
