Trolley 40

My trolley recovery rate seems to be settling at about once a month - although it would be easier to tell if the record was properly spreadsheeted, rather than just scattered around a scrapbook. See reference 1.

This Sainsbury's trolley from East Street, maybe a hundred yards southwest of the Kiln Road junction. Yet again, one wonders why exactly it wound up there.

This particular trolley had one of those odd front left hand wheels, suspected of being home to the security device which is supposed to inhibit removal from the Sainsbury's estate. But this one was defective or badly fitted as it had a tendency to spin rather than to turn in an orderly fashion, making pushing the thing over asphalt pavements, left alone blacktop roads, rather difficult.

Furthermore the trolley shelter where I eventually left it was far from orderly too, probably because some unthinking shopper had left a large Wickes trolley in a shelter intended for the rather smaller Sainsbury's trolleys. I made only some attempt to tidy up before I left, not wanting to take too much work away from the trolleymen, whom I imagine to be on minimum wage and to take all the hours they can get.
