Note the wheels at the front, larger than those at the back, which is not. I think, the case with Sainsbury's trolleys. Nor is there any attempt at the security devices which are fitted to most of theirs - even if I have yet to see any evidence of the devices working. This trolley did seem easy to wheel, but that may have been down to better standard of sidewalk on this side of town, rather than to wheel configuration.
The handle was quite badly bent, with two large holes at the bend, as if some fixture had been ripped off. But nothing of the sort to be seen at the trolley stand on return. All white handles there, a later version than than mine, so perhaps changing the green handle for a new white handle will not be a big deal. One hopes that they don't just chuck the whole trolley in the tip, on the grounds that it costs more to mend than it is worth.
A bit further on, in East Street, outside Majestic, we had a bicycle tyre neatly hoop-la'd over a lamp post, maybe 4-5 metres high. Assuming it was the same sort of youth who dumped the trolley, how many attempts did it take to score? One can't imagine them doing anything imaginative or difficult like building a human pyramid up the pole, to do it that way.
And a bit later on there was a second M&S trolley (food hall white, large size), but it was neither snapped nor scored as it was on the space dedicated to Epsom Market, outside Wetherspoon's and in sight of the M&S front door. Excluded by rule 15b (15a being the one about trolleys in the further reaches of the Sainsbury's car park at Kiln Lane). At least I can feel virtuous about getting it indoors before the hail shower which followed shortly after.
