G'Day all,
Please see following letter from today's
Sydney Daily Telegraph. Letters section ....
" We read and hear about
supermarket trolleys being abandoned all over the place, often far from their bases.
Some are later recovered at considerable cost; the rest usually finish up in
creek, gullies, dumps etc.
Who are these eslfish, inconsiderate morons who practise this weird ritual?
They wouldn't by any chance be the same people with big heads who ride high on 4WDs in suburad areas, going shopping in these road monsters and taking their little ones to and from school?
They must be, because my hatchback couldn't possibly accomodate a shopping trolley on board.
This is just one more black mark against those road
pests and their owners."
Anyone what to buy a shopping trolley?
Regards,
Bazza

It's the pensioners and low income single mums that I see pushing trolleys of groceries
home into estates and areas that are poorly service by public transport. They can't afford a car or a taxi so they just push the trolley
home - often several kms. (not picking on these people, just stating fact)
The other ones are the bored kids that take any trolleys not picked up out of the carparks by the supermarkets and push there mates around late at night for something to do.
Surely these are more plausable explanations.
How the hell this guy comes to blame 4WD owners is a complete mystery to me! I've got better things to do with my time and vehicle - like go bush!

Lyn he only admitted to ONE ugly woman, not all of them (assuming there is more than ONE in the world)....No-one would be silly enough to claim responsibility for thatIf you hold your heart and focus,
you will end up holding your dream

Aaahhhhhhh Shopping Trolleys.....I speak from experience!!!.
Once upon a time I had the Shopping Trolley contract for Woolworths in
Alice Springs. I used spend an hour every night collecting wayward trolleys up to 5 kilometres away from the shopping centre in my LC FJ55. I employed 7 shopping trolley collectors and we worked 7 days a week.
One day I was approached by one of the elders of the
Yuendumu Community which lies 290km thereabouts north west of Alice on the
Tanami Road. He asked if I would come and collect the 55 Woolworths/Coles shopping trolleys which were abandoned in the township. I approached both companies to get some funding or bounty for the trip but they were not interested. I wonder how many trolleys there are now? And that was only one community!!!
So 4x4's and Shopping Trolleys are synonymous!
Cheers,
