Trolley 146

A trolley from Wilkinson's, a rare capture. Which is odd as, given the sort of people who make up most of their clientèle, one would have expected more.

This one was clean & tidy enough, but it did look as if it had been outside for quite a while. Certain amount of white fuzz on the wire, which I take to be oxidization.

Returned it to the stack to find that it was the wrong size. Was it the wrong branch of Wilko's? Had it been away so long that they had changed their trolleys in the meantime?  I thought to let the young man on the customer service desk know about this, but when he eventually got off the phone, I don't think he appreciated what the problem was. Just a matter of being polite to some old buffer banging on about something. Then his phone went again, so I let it go at that. Their problem!

Checking the archive, I found that this was the second trolley from Wilkinson's, with the first having been found in the autumn of 2016 in Manor Green Road, near 100 trolleys ago. See reference 1.
