Trolley 68

The first trolley for more than a month, with this one being captured in East Street, opposite what used to be the King's Arms public house before Youngs pushed the rent up above what the place could carry. Maybe a hundred yards short of the Kiln Lane turning into Sainsbury's. A smart, clean trolley,

For once a passing gent., almost certainly a fellow pensioner, took an interest in the matter, admitting to collecting the odd trolley himself. I was able to explain something of the mysteries of the security device on the front wheel to him, which we agreed was clearly not working properly.

Nor did the securitised wheel work properly as a wheel, having a marked tendency to spin round and round in a horizontal plane, rather than turn in a vertical plane, when pushed along the admittedly rough pavement.

After dropping the trolley off at the big stack outside the front entrance, I was pleased to find that the alley up the side of the Sainsbury's building which leads to the footbridge over the railway, had been swept for litter quite recently, maybe earlier this morning. Much better than it had been, for example, a couple of Christmases ago. See reference 1.
