To get a Sholley

[DecomposingRat]

I keep seeing these and think how handy they look, I live five minutes from a supermarket and could pick up a decent amount of shopping without a car with one. But I am early 40s and all the sholley owners appear to be 70+ and the sholleys are tartan. Would it be strange to get one and has anyone relatively young got experience of one?

A small country I used to live very close to, had a huge supermarket. When I first started going there, I noticed lots of these shopping trollies parked inside the entrance and assumed that they were for sale. I soon realised that they belonged to customers. They're were loads of them with people of every age using them.

My mum had one when I was a child. She's in her 70's now and recently said to me, "Come on now, Want", when I suggested she get another one

Thanks to this thread I took mine to Sainsburys today, and had a good conversation at the checkout with some customers in the queue about what a splendid idea it was. Of course people remembered older people having them but the chat was general about the eco credentials being more important.

Ah I see sholleys are the ones you push and they look better if you've got mobility problems even in terms of unpacking it and finding stuff. They also look better set up for needing to get in/out of them as you go about your day.

I quite like the tartan ones actually

The pull along ones look great and are the environmentally friendly bag equivalent of the reusable coffee cup. If anyone sniggers or looks down on people using these it says far more about them and is incredibly immature.
