Trolley 87

Still more Sainsbury's. This one with the yellow wheel lock dropped (visible if you click to enlarge) and chucked over a fence somewhere between the back way out of Sainsbury's and the footbridge over the railway at the bottom of West Street.

My first recovery, as far as I can recall without checking, of a trolley from over a fence. It had not been there long, so there was no question of it being tied down by the growth of brambles through the basket. No need for heroics with nettles.

I found that the easiest way to move the locked trolley was to pull it backwards, with the front wheels tipped up. Luckily there were no parked cars on this stretch, as it had a tendency to swing around a little alarmingly.

PS: I am now taking small stakes for the centenary sweepstake, having taken 1st January, 2018 for myself. In which connection, readers might like to know that, according to Wikipedia:  '[s]weepstakes with large grand prizes tend to attract more entries regardless of the odds of winning. Therefore, the value of smaller prizes usually total much less than that of the top prize. Firms that rely on sweepstakes for attracting customers, such as Publishers Clearing House and Reader's Digest, have also found that the more involved the entry process, the more entrants. Businesses often obtain marketing information about their customers from sweepstakes entries'.
