Cortana was not sure either, seeming to have thought that the object of interest was the wall, with the rail protecting the wall showing up loud and clear through the trolley. Which last was, as it happens, slightly damaged.
Note the new style of shadow selfie for the shy. Note also the departure of the front corner of the wall from the vertical. I suppose the inevitable effect of using a very small, wide angle lens.
Having captured the trolley, we followed a young lady and her three young children, who did not think it necessary to make way on the pavement for a mere trolley, into Kiln Lane. But she was very young and probably would not have understood the finer points of trolley collection, although I think one of her daughters did.
PS: there was a rather more damaged trolley for the disabled in the stream down Longmead Road, say around gmaps 51.341855, -0.266621. Not too difficult to fish it out from this particular spot, but would Sainsbury's thank me for its return, with half the bit of trolley which locked onto a wheelchair seeming to be missing? Thinking as I type, I think that it is their responsibility, so it is proper for me to return it - and for them to deal with it. Big companies are responsible, certainly morally, for the unintended side effects of their activities, be they Sainsbury's, Google or Whatsapp. But thinking some more, it would be a bit of a pain if one tried to boycott a big company which one thought was defaulting in this regard. My trolley count, for example, would go down catastrophically if I withdrew my custom from Sainsbury's. Easier in the days when fewer of the companies with which one did business were so big and pervasive,
