For the first time, a trolley which is damaged. Bit of a mystery how the handle came out of what look like quite sturdy fixtures at each end, fixtures which do not look damaged themselves. I would have thought it most likely that the handle itself had been damaged, perhaps snapped in half, making it easy enough to remove. Without having a handle in front of me, not a clue what they are made of. Best guess a plastic moulding, complete with solid plugs at each end to take the substantial screws coming in from the fixtures, just about visible when you click to enlarge. Will I remember to look next time I have the opportunity?
Note also the remains of what appears to be some kind of yellow tape around the top of the trolley basket. What on earth was it doing there? What was the trolley being used for to want tape? Will the trolley men at Sainsbury's bother to remove it?
Next mystery being what Sainbury's will do with it. Is Kiln Lane a big enough operation to warrant a trolley repair shed? Are wounded trolleys so rare that it is not worth putting up a hospital for them? I suppose the only way I am going to find out is to come across a Sainsbury's building manager, their equivalent of a premises person in the civil service, in the pub. The chap who has, inter alia, worry about the state of the car park and to manage the trolley parks therein. The chap who arranges for the litter in the alley to be picked up from time time. See reference 1.
PS: a bit later on I came across another trolley in the stream down Longmead Road, right in the middle of one of the deeper bits. Will I tackle this one next week? The last stream recovery cost me a broken litter picker and it would be annoying to break another. See reference 2.
