I did watch some scabby cunt properly pulling his Asda Trolley the other day because of their theft prevention system. I couldn't help but think it'd be less effort to carry the bags than struggle with a trolley.

I've noticed that both Asdas now make you put a pound in the trolley. Why the hell would anyone take a trolley anyway?

Truly an accomplishment to make you feel proud!

I used to have a part time job at a supermarket in the 80's, where my job involved wandering round the local housing estates retrieving trolleys and returning them to the trolley park. I could normally ensure that there were a couple of trolleys near my Mum's house and spend an hour or so watching telly at home before returning to work with my trolleys .

This is nothing to be proud of, it's doing some lazy twat out of a dossy job!

Swindonians... significantly less pikey than last year.  Anyone who used to steal trolleys but havent this year, pat yourselves on your back.

Bought one at Uni, cost me a pound.  Took it home, broke the lock to get the pound back, and built a BBQ with it. (Well someone else did, I have fuck all ability in this area, I 'supervised').

Back in the day we purchased a Sainsbury's trolley for a quid, nice self service system they have in place, when we lived at Morse St in the Town Centre.  It allowed hassle free returns from the said supermarket back up the small hill.  We sold it back to them for a quid when we moved 6 months later.

You'd be surprised!  When Asda Walmart first opened, we lived opposite the back of it in Abbey Meads.  Every Saturday  morning we'd find one or two trolleys in the bushes at the front of our house.  As it was open 24 hours people would go in there after the pub and then leave pushing their mate/s in a trolley and then abandon it when they got bored!  I remember my brother and my friend going over there around 3am and racing around outside with a trolley!  It's amusing when you're drunk, especially when someone falls out!  :D

You should try sitting in a supermarket trolley while being pushed by 2 big oafs downhill into the underpass by Coate Water. It ended up with one unconcious when they slammed into the wall and another with a very sore shoulder for a few weeks.

After beating Sunderland in the Wembley play off final when back in Swindon, due to a lot of beer and happiness, I managed to push my brother in a shopping trolley from what was the Grove pub to the Greenbridge roundabout where luckily he got (fell) out for a kebab and I could dump the trolley. That was knackering !
