A stash

A stash of trolleys from Sainsbury's outside the accommodation block for students from our University of Creation in East Street. Maybe half a mile from the shop, so a reasonable distance to wheel a loaded trolley.

Is it an installation or some kind of a project? Are they making an important statement about the throw-away culture of our consumerist society? Or perhaps, following the closure of both the nearby public houses (the Common Room and the King's Arms), the students are reduced to alcohol fuelled orgies in their bed-sits, for which they need to obtain supplies? Or if I were to visit late at night, would I find of long line of them wheeling each other in trolleys down the centre of the road, while they all chanted some political (or at least polemical) ditty?
