Trolley 6 (reprised)

Collected the next day, when inspection revealed that the trolley was made by the same Wanzl people who do the M&S trolleys but that the cunning plastic lacquer finished galvanising described in their web site was not proof against everything. For some reason there was some rust at the bottom of the shopping basket.

An odd place for the thing to get scraped, so perhaps a flaw in manufacturing?

And given that Wanzl do the trolleys for both Sainsbury's and M&S there might be a case for a referral to the Monopolies Commission, or whatever that august body is called these days. Or maybe some organ of the EC? Maybe a memo. to Alexander Italianer at Directorate General VI (COMP) (aka competition) is indicated?
