no idea when i last did a post on seeing a trolley found in a less conventional placing that usual, but here we are. and it is with delight, look you see, that i only saw the one, so no headaches about what the correct or proper spelling of the plural is.
this one i saw down there in that there London (innit) place. i was out and about, doing what i do for verk, which strictly speaking isn't spotting or looking for (here goes a plural) trollies. however, getting to see one now and then is definitely a plus.
as it happens, i was in a fairly or reasonably affluent area of that there London (innit) when i saw this one. which is why the post has the title it does. not sure if the trolley is off of a posh place, but my understanding is that all of London does all of its shopping at something called Waitrose, a brand too expensive to have any branches (or chapters) up here in normal parts of England, so maybe.
i would have thought there is next to no level or interest or point in a video (yes, we've got a video) of either this abandoned trolley or any other. the thing is, after all, and in fairness, just, well, parked there, or sat there if that is correct. but, considering how often (frequently) i am incorrect, if not wrong, here you go, some video.
oddly this abandoned, or if you like repurposed, trolley makes sense. it is in a residential area of that there London place, but one plagued like so many others there, innit. sure, there are roads, but you are not actually allowed to drive on them. for reasons of verk i have spent some considerable time down there, and i would guess (or speculate) that some 40% of the roads in the place are now ones you are prohibited from driving on, unless you wish to pay a fine (£65 if paid in 14 days, don't ask how i know this but have a guess). little wonder that the people of London are so angry so often, and no shock or surprise at all that the few roads you can drive on are mad massive traffic jams.
quite surprising, and i am (fairly) sure i have made this point before, that the people of London have allowed the incumbent, quasi squatter mayor Sadiq Khan to effectively cripple the place. he strives to make the place both difficult to live in and very easy to die by murder in. i suppose a lot of the problem is no credible opposition has been put forward. yet he seems blissfully unaware that he wasn't voted in for him, as such, rather people voted for "least worst" or simply against other candidates. perhaps as soon as he is gone London can commence rebuilding as an actual, proper functional city once more. it cannot be so that his reckless reign of damage and misery is irreparable; the city is too great.
how likely is it that this shall be just the first trolley post of the year? as in, shall more follow? one would realistically expect so. although on a recent trip to a supermarket i found no trolleys (trollies) available at all. perhaps enthusiasm for taking them home, or to scrapyards, has returned to pre-2020 volumes. which is good and, for me in this instance, bad.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
