to think that trolleys are totally unfarily biased towards those with young families?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

My blueberries and kumquats keep falling out the holes in the vegetables section of the trolley.

Why do the supermarkets suck-up to those with young DC? Surely they're not the greatest proportion of society? I think the balance should be redressed and the legholes removed for the majoroity of trolleys.

That is how life should be.

I do not enjoy repeatedly chasing little blue balls of delightfuless around the floor of the shop. And, yes, before you ask, it was my first ever kumquat.

AIBU?

YABU I'm yet to find a trolley in any supermarket that is safe, comfy or clean enough to put either of my DCs in.

Actually, I think I may have just designed a war-chariot.

With a grocery basket.

Boudiccea would be proud...

Actually that's genius Kungfu.
I love the elevating trolley bottom.
Have you ever thought of Dragon's Den?

I think the base of the trolley should bounce uo a it and raise as the goods are removed, save danglying to the bottom, showing your bottom, iyswim?

Like those plate stackers you get at carveries.

Oh bugger.

Need to give up my speedreafing habit.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. No bottom wobbling.

We should come up with a killer design and all go on Dragons' Den together. And when they rubbish our idea we can elevate our collective noses and say "Did you mean to be so rude?"

The thing at the front is where I squeeze all my shopping as ds in his car seat takes up all of the main basket.
Why? Because dd once cut her tongue tie chewing on the filthy strap of a supermarket trolley. Bled all over herself and then I had the joy of explaining to the highly rude and suspicious GP that neither DH nor myself had decided to perform some amateur surgery.

Buy Pot Noodles

I'm going to go and lie in the bath and contemplate the fame and riches coming our way once we launch our new range of MN friendly trolleys.

I have a sad admission to make < sadface

Because I am old and at least one winky has flown the nest, the other lives off toast and Shug Mots and Lord Turnip toils away from home -

• my trolley of choice is one of those shallow high jobbies with no sections whatsoever. My meagre and sorry little collection of provisions huddle in a pathetic jumble up one end.

What is even worse is that I keep one of those fake pound thingies in my purse, to release the trolley from its captive shackles. On completion I put it away again - then lift my two-or-so bags into the very small boot of a very small car that resembles a stoutish roller skate.

How did it all come to this? I am but one step away from a tartan shopping bag on wheels for barging other pedestrians off the pavements.

Oh, I dream of a time when I can regularly use a shallow trolley.
And buy individual blueberries and kumquats...

Rather than wholesale amounts of cereal and 24 pints of milk and the Largest Bag of Frozen Peas Ever. And run out of space in the Big Trolley, stagger accross to the BoyBus to unload everything in there and then again in 25 trips to the kitchen to then unload everything which is then consumed in about 5 miliseconds the the Plague of Locusts that is my family. Greedy feckers!

Chaos, btw, your flounce failed - in case you had not noticed!

Talc. I use those trolleys my lovely for my weekly shop and have two small dcs. There is no shame in the shallow trolley.

And my trolley token has. Strawberry on it.

I like the Wilko baskets that you can turn into pull a long things if your kitchen roll and new bath plug gets to heavy.

I hanker after one of those trendy pull-along trolleys.
And I lost my trolley token..

I feel better now. My trolley token was a dirty secret and now it's out there and Honey has one too.

Chaos - another item that is ripe for trolley-mesh escape is the individual hot chocolate sachet. The lower the calorie count, the more slender the packet.

The only way to prevent their escape is to go for the super luxury indulgence creamy bastards that are fat with powder.

Kitchen roll and bath plug! Oh my god usual, I am crying!

There's a trolley token?

Waitrose Small Trolleys Are the comfiest I find.

What? We don't have fruit and veg sections in Scottish trolleys.

Unless... do you mean the bit at the end for the Family XXL pack Mars Bars and Auntie Bessie's Easy Batter Mix?

I see what you did there MmeLindor!

DH and I have entered the Twilight Years ourselves and can now make to with the shallow trolley.

It holds all manner of yellow-stickered shit stuff that DH likes to purchase.

We use a shallow trolley a lot of the time. When I get half way around, I realise that I should have taken a big one and start piling stuff up.

What the hell. I had no idea trolley use was such a complex science.

Vegetable sections? Sections for wine and bread. A special place for kumquats? Where do you people shop?

I just bung all my shopping in the thing and hope for the best. Clearly I'm a lost soul.

Ooooh yes thornrose - they are great.

Even Her Maj keeps one for popping down to Lidl.
