Re: Off my Trolly?

Nice - these July images would make a lovely little square book.

You should have said you were checking the wheel alignment

For some reason, and I really don't know why - my brother would often carry a tape measure and a notepad. He would measure the distance between tills in supermarkets, the height of vending machines in motorway service stations, in fact just about anything he could, while making Imaginary notes in his notepad. I lost count of the times we were removed from places for such behaviour. This kind of thing seems to make people very uneasy indeed. The whole thing wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the fact he was in his early 20's.

Just thougth I'd share that with you.

I like the way the image is almost monochrome apart from the orange on the wheels

Re: Off my Trolly?

Did you take any more ?

I have also seen this done with the tops of the trolleys. That also looks very cool also.

* Will see you in Belfast Steve, I have managed to bag some cheap seats and will be heading home that weekend. Manchester to Belfast return £24.00 in full, it was the GF who booked the dates based on price. Oh and she knows nothing about the meet either

I took a few at the Tesco up the road but then moved on to Sainsburys's as I remembered they have very neat trolley lines........how sad am I!!

I had maybe 5 or 6 that would have been useable but I don't think my Flickr stream could take too many pictures of trollies.

Great news about Belfast mate, it should be an absolutely cracking weekend

As Belfast has very few other food stores and the Tesco is right in the centre of the city, thats a cracking plan.

Did you know that the Chain SPAR Means: the Society and Protection of the Average Retailer.
