it does feel like quite some time - perhaps over a year, look you see - since i last wrote any thoughts or similar about seeing a shopping trolley in an unusual location. quite a lot of that would be down to not really noticing too many about no more, but also there is the fact that i have possibly exhausted all discourse or conversation (as one sided as it may be) in regards of them.
go on then, since i have little else to write. i checked and it seems April 2023 was the last time i made reference to a trolley. blimey, that's nearly 2 years. for those who(m) insist on specifics, 22 months ago, give or take a few hours and days. either people are foolishly reading the signs which ask patrons to leave the trolleys (trollies) at the supermarkets or scrapyards are back in business accepting them for some lovely, lovely cash.
oddly this post breaks a "thing" of mine. usually i try to avoid doing consecutive posts on a similar theme or subject. here, however, is a weird one. this trolley was located not too far from where i saw a goose of undetermined nationality (but likely Egyptian). a few steps away, as point of fact. so that kind of counts as a similar subject, i suppose. no, same setting is closer to accuracy. the writing is rather unlikely to get any more interesting, by the way.
with the above in mind, yes, then, this was all in a rather if not posh then certainly wealthy area of that there London (innit). they would definitely prefer to be seen as posh, but as the sadly late David Lynch exposed one does not have to scratch too far below a surface to find not all is what it seems. my suspicion is that the residents of this area would claim to have never experienced the joys of pushing a trolley around, instead allowing their staff or "people" to do it. which potentially makes where this one came from, and how it ended up where it was, a slight mystery.
above is, potentially, the single most pointless video i have ever added here. indeed i do appreciate the gravity or bold nature of such a statement, contemplating as i momentarily am some of the truly awful videos what i have added. little can be gained in terms of insight from watching the above, but then there may be some entertainment in trying to work out the shadowy figure moving in the background. yes, the shadowy nature is down to me using VHS mode, but still.
did the trolley have anything of interest in it? considering how close this all was to the Thames i suspected a rat, a fox or indeed both may be in it or nearby, so elected not to go too close. from what i can see, and you may well be able to yourself in the picture below, it looks like a few cannisters which may have had some gas in them. perhaps this trolley, which i saw sat there for a couple of days untroubled, is a main distribution point for that "hippie crack" stuff so beloved by trendies, professional footballers and other, similar wastes of space.
my days of wandering the wastelands of that there London (innit) are, for better or worse, to reach closing time quite soon. at least from a verk perspective. this is kind of the best of times, the worst of times. nothing lasts forever, if it proves to be so i shall miss certain aspects (many of them being entirely money) and other things i would not care to see or experience again.
everyone, i think, should at least consider thinking (to borrow a phrase) about keeping a trolley at home. one could see it as a tribute to Dale Winton's Supermarket Sweep. failing that, there will always be a scrapyard with cash to buy it from you. see it as a kind of "crypto" thing, but actually of genuine value and a more realistic way of having something in the bank.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
