On return to the Sainsbury's Cuddles in Ewell Village, the chap there said that it was not one of his rather larger regular ones, but that it was probably one from round the back, loaned out to people who could not raise the £1 coin needed to use one of the regulars out front. It was a long enough walk with such a thing to Ewell Village, so otherwise it would have been a very long walk to Kiln Lane.
I couldn't interest him in the wheels, just about visible in this shot, which were new to me. Two hard rubber rings, one on each side of the wheel, rather than a regular tyre spanning the whole of the wheel. First thought was new model tyres. Second thought was that whoever had walked off with the trolley for some obscure reason - or perhaps just because he thought it clever - had taken the tyres off. But second thought washed away by observing that it would take such a person far too long to get them off, given the configuration of the wheel assembly. He would have lost interest long before lift off.
