distressed trolley of summer

hello there


well, i am not quite so sure, or certain, that this is of summer, look you see. the clock which speaks to me, and each of us all, says we are in the phenomenon of British Summer Time, and so for an easy life i shall just go with the flow. 

so a further, if not particularly exciting (and this you can take as being warned) sighting of a trolley out of its natural environment. with the natural environment for a shopping trolley being, of course, either being melted down or waiting to be melted down in a scrap yard as quick as possible after a swift, cash is tax free transaction. failing that, every now and then one may spot a trolley or two at a supermarket or other such commercial concern. 

actually that's me being (unusually) judgemental, that bit about it being not exciting. you have come all this way, so here you go, have a look at the one what i spotted recently. spotted and was able to get a picture, or two, of. 


certainly, or most decidedly, yes, presented in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode. as would be the usual, or norm, for here. i quite to think some of you, maybe most if not (quite) all, just visit here to look at things in Commodore 64 mode, rather than anything specific. 

this is, if we are honest, not the finest looking trolley what has ever been depicted or otherwise presented here. distressed, i believe, more or less covers it. from a partial distance it actually did not seem too bad, but on closer inspection (and indeed in non Commodore 64 mode) one can see that it has had a little bit of a rough innings. 

unless i am mistaken, do pay particular attention to the handlebar thing, which acts as a quasi rudimentary steering mechanism for most trolleys (trollies). it strikes me as being so that this one has undergone some form of trial by fire. 


on, or at, the front (unsure if it would be defined as near side or far side), that one wheel looks more buckled and bent than is normal for a shopping trolley. yes, believe it or not, they are indeed designed and manufactured with a slight buckle, purely because this makes them difficult to operate and because shopping trolley designers aren't particularly socially adept and do not like anyone. 

further damage seems limited to that trial by fire i mentioned earlier. looking at the non Commodore 64 mode image, it would appear to be fairly substantial. perhaps someone, for some reason, attempted to hold a barbecue in the trolley, bereft as they were of a specific barbecue device grill for such. or maybe it was just wanton vandalism, or someone new to the scrap metal scene trying to melt it down themselves with some spirit cleaner and a cigarette lighter. 

right, all that is left for me to add is yes, of course, should i see any more trollies (trolleys) or such concerns of similar interest i shall certainly try to remember to capture images and present them here. 



be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
