for some of you this shall, i trust (or hope), be a welcome return to news of sightings of apparently randomly abandoned trolleys. or trollies, look you see, depending on which is the precise, if not exact, spelling for such.
generally one does not see all that many abandoned trolleys (or what have you) around these days. momentarily, at the least. in the present economic environment, which is no fallacy to describe as poor if not bleak, one would imagine that trolleys are being removed from supermarkets (and similar) and directly sold to less ("fewer") questions asked scrap metal merchants. rather unlikely that the people of this nation have lost their enthusiasm for the removal of them from their intended locale. believe me, if i had a solid working relationship with a scrap metal dealer, this is precisely what i would be doing.
and there, above, is an image of the trolley for you, presented in that not too bad "thermal" image mode thing what i have one of them apps for. no, you are not mistaken, it has indeed been positioned (or abandoned if we are honest) in an agreeable place, so as to seem like it is chilling by a tree.
the trolley does have a specific shop (or store) branding on it, but i am not prepared to disclose it here. no, it is not a shop i use too often myself, and also no, i am not responsible for either its removal or for where it has ended up. using that google thing i am informed that the trolley travelled at least 0.7 miles to get where it is, which included a voyage across a body of water. presumably the latter bit via a bridge, for there is no discernible rust visible.
why, other than the fairly lucrative sale value, do people take trolleys? it is (i believe) inappropriate to answer a question with a question, but to ask such is to be asking the wrong question. after all, why would you not take one? it is on wheels and perfectly mobile. sure, doing so provides something of a vague inconvenience to the proprietor who invested in it, and (possibly) prospective shoppers that may have wished to make use of it, but there we go.
it would be amiss, if not an outright act of folly, for me to write of an abandoned trolley without stating that i really don't have much to write on such a subject beyond that which i have previously written.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
