The Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood are best friends
History tells us that that The Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood were arch enemies, but as you can see here that isn't correct
On the left of the frame is Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos, a hard working local politician and the current incumbent of the role of The Sheriff Of Nottingham.
On the right of the frame is the official Robin Hood, Tim Pollard.
I photographed Shuguftah at Pride last year and we follow each other on social media.
She was on duty yesterday, opening the St. Patrick's day celebrations in the Old Market Square.
I went to say hello to her and she remembered me and my name from the summer. She set this photo up for me , telling me it was now "official" that The Sheriff and Robin are best mates and never enemies !
Ha, how many long years of feud have passed since then. But better late than never. This could be the biggest act of peace between enemies. The Sheriff looks very happy. What a cute end it would have been to the story.
@phil_howcroft Ha ha! It's one of my favorite movies! Much better than Kevin Costner trying to speak with a fake English accent in the beginning, then going to a regular American accent after the movie had started. Besides that, Errol's Robin Hood was so much fun. =)
@carole_sandford no I think the government steals from the poor and gives it to the rich !!!!
