Trolley 35

After a long wait, noticed only a couple of days ago at reference 1, we move up from trolley 34 to trolley 35. This one recovered from East Street, quite near the building there which was damaged by fire and recently demolished. There was at least one trolley on the site and it is possible that trolley 35 was one of them, the the people clearing the site simply moving it off-site rather than returning it. I note in passing that they are still advertising for a site manager there.

I score a further half point on the grounds that having returned this trolley, I collected another from the perimeter of the car park and returned it to the collection point. Possibly whoever left it had taken notice of the perimeter signs about trolleys being equipped with electronic devices to deter removal. Not that I have ever seen such a device or heard one go off. Would it know whether you were wheeling a trolley in across the boundary or out?

At some point, trolley 35 had had its front right hand wheel replaced and I noticed that, at the collection point, maybe half the trolleys of this size had had one or other front wheels replaced. Given that it is quite awkward to tilt a trolley, I dare say the front wheels get well bashed by people just bumping into obstacles like kerbs and hoping that the front wheels lift over them - which they usually don't. Perhaps something to be fed into the next trolley contract that the Sainsbury's stores' supplies buying team let.

PS: I read the other day that Corby collects pictures of man-hole covers. Perhaps I ought to write to him about trolleys.
