fans of images of trolleys (trollies) in places where they are not usually intended to be can be merry, then, as that is precisely what this post concerns. it may well be that this is the first such post of this nature for the year (2021), look you see, but also sorry if this is the second.
whereas i get to see a good many trollies (trolleys), and for that matter singular shoes, haplessly abandoned on my travels, now not so much. my suspicion is that the great and good invisible war on the new plague is being taken a bit more seriously now, and so people are not wandering around as much as they once would have. also, as scrap yards are presumably momentarily closed, bewilderingly seen as a form of non-essential business, one really would have no need to collect a free trolley (or two) from a retailer, as one would not have anywhere to exchange it for (no questions asked) cash.
but, happily, luckily or even fortuitously (presuming you like such things) i did indeed spot a trolley or two (as in two) in a less standard than you would expect setting of late. and yes, of course, pictures.
two of them, then. quite interestingly, and i appreciate that you can ascertain this from the crystal like clarity of the greater good of the Commodore 64 mode image, from two different retailers. yes, there is a non-Commodore 64 mode image below, but no the names are not too much clearer. from what i can recall, one was off of Tesco and one was off of some shop called Wilko, that i think i have passed a branch or chapter or two of but have not as such as yet been a patron.
anyway, locale for these trolleys (trollies). a limited space car park adjacent to a rather posh, fancy looking, clearly intended for the affluent and the aspiration driven market set of apartments, converted from some large form of building originally purposed for some economic concern or other. nothing at all of the (splendid looking) living quarters suggested that they were designed for the kind of person who would usually spend their time acquiring vast numbers of shopping trollies (trolleys), only to store them at home for no apparent reason.
location for all of this? of course i cannot give too many specifics. but a sort of overtly southern south aspect of the northern regions of Yorkshire, i suppose. one of those sorts of provincial, rural villages in Yorkshire (and there are many) where the residents give every sense of not liking "outsiders", looking upon such with disdain from their position of superiority. and why not.
surely, yes, it is a little discomforting and unsettling to innocently visit a place and have the residents immediately take a dislike to you. but, that is human nature. or, maybe, that is how we have crafted human nature to be. invariably that is how it must be. take, for instance, the "smart phone" you may well have. an incredible device, giving anyone who owns one access to virtually all known knowledge, providing the means to access absolutely any form of art ever created or see any part of the world. mostly, though, we use them just to send images of cats to people, or to announce that we shall sh!t in the face of anyone who disagrees with our views, no matter how outlandish they are.
do i keep a stock (or store) of trolleys (trollies), either at home or at some other location? not really. yes, i think i have taken part custodianship of one or two in the past, but probably returned them. i have just never felt qualified to be a full part of the economic cycle which sees many take the trollies (trolleys) generously offered for free by retailers and proceed to sell them to scrap merchants. thus far this business model appears to have worked without my presence, and long may it continue to do so.
just as soon as the invisible war on the new plague has been won, i believe, is the answer to when we can expect to see an impressive proliferation of shopping trolleys (trollies) being sporadically abandoned around our green and (mostly) pleasant land. if that is not enough motivation to keep fighting the fight until victory is secured, well then i am at a loss to speculate as what might be.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
