portsmouth trolley parking

hello there

well, if it's an even numbered month then it must be time for another look at something what i saw down in the place known as Portsmouth. it is known as such for that is it's name, look you see. just what i saw, in this instance, would be pretty clear from the title, i expect. 

despite it being (quite) true that i am confused by many things, the popularity of posts about things from Portsmouth does baffle me. i mean, fair enough, yes, it's nice to see different aspects of our country, or indeed world for those reading outside of the UK, but still. part of me wishes to move away from writing of the place, yet also it would feel mean to do so if all that many of you are interested. 

for those of you wondering what, exactly, the above all pertains (or relates) to, here is one post i did off of the place, which happens to be the first of the region. the second, which you can find by clicking here, has been even more popular, but to be fair that (or this) one does have Chuck Norris in it. and now we have this one. 

there you go, then, in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 format, is a shopping trolley left by a parking sign in Portsmouth. which part of the place? don't remember. but the parking zone section is visible in the second image, for those who wish to do some research. i really would not bother if i were you, but i am not you, and you are to do with your life as you wish. 

strange, i agree, to see a trolley left not only so neatly parked, but also not made better use of. considering they do all them ships and that down there, i thought this trolley would have long ago been melted down and used to construct some smart battleship, or cruise liner for happier times. yet no, there it sits, parked up for presumably less than two hours, going on the sign. 

moving away from Portsmouth in general might not be so bad. once again, sure, yes, it seems like a nice enough place, and there's an absolute boss Tesco chapter right next to their football stadium. but it is a very, very long way away from home for moi, and the drive to and from is a bit much. but, you know, my verk is what it is, and if they wish to pay me to keep going, so be it. 

i am not entirely sure how the shopping trolley market works down in Portsmouth. whilst i presume they work on the same basis as everywhere else, which is that the supermarkets kindly provide them freely (or charge a nominal £1 fee) for you to do with them what you will, i don't recall seeing all that many scrapyards down there, if any. my exploration of the place was far from exhaustive, mind. likely that they do have one or two scrapyards down there, where these generously given away trolleys (trollies) can be exchanged for cash. 

but that said i have noticed one or two of the supermarkets putting up signs asking people to not take, or in some instances they use the word "steal", the trollies (trolleys), but to rather leave them where they are so that others may make certain use of them. fair enough, but then why put wheels on them if the plan or intention is for them to remain where they are? 

unsure if i am that one can say anything for certain (kind of), but i have a hunch, or suspicion, that further sights of Portsmouth will be presented here. oh, take it as a given that other trolley incidents will. actually, now that i think, i think this was off of Portsmouth, sorry if i saw it somewhere in London instead and got confused. 

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