Would it be considered Sad if I purchased one of those old woman shopping trolleys?

[MissusWoman]

In Barcelona you see young people wheeling their little oldwoman shopping trolley things around all over the place, but would I get funny looks if I bought one to use here?

It would be so handy for shopping at the market

is your trolley full of graffiti paint?

Wow, sm, sorry mw (when did that happen?) - I have never seen anyone carry off a granny trolley with such style, such panache, such raw sex appeal. I'm gonna get me one of those

You need to be confident to get the hang of using one, do you push it in front, drag it behind, what do you do at curbs etc It a bit like a man with a beard (or an old lady with a shopping trolley) deciding whether to sleep with it over or under the bed clothes!

snort @ you three!

Here you go girls trendy shopping trolleys!

Serious trolley question coming up! In the supermarket, what do you do with it? I mean, you can buy lots so you need a trolley rather than a handbasket so what do you do with your trolley? Do you put it in the supermarket trolley or drag it behind and try and push the supermarket trolley one handed?

See this is the problem I have with my buggy - can't leave it anywhere and can't manage a trolley as well so I have to have a handbasket and fill the pushchair hood up with precariously balanced items as well.

I am seriously considering a granny truck when I no longer have a buggy to load up with shopping. Funny thing is Mum suggested one years ago when we didn't have a car and I seem to remember my response included the words "dead" "seen" "with" and "wouldn't" . But now I am older and wiser I'm starting to see the appeal!

Thing is, people don't bat an eyelid in London - I'm not sure Macc is ready for moo with a trolley!

Ha! Mine's a purple rolser as shown on last link. Don't know about supermarket conundrum as use mine at Xmas in Liberty and down Bond St!

Yipeeeeeee!!!! glad you got one Missuswoman.

I've emailed the company treacletart posted the link of (cheers TT) asking where I can get the purple one,Rolser Xeroles (Azul). I WANT IT!!!!!

Aha moo! I can answer that question as mw had exactly the same problem yesterday, and actually called me to tell me about it!

She hooked it onto the hook under the trolley handle, after seeing an old lady doing the same

Aaaaah...

dp said not only would he not be ashamed to be seen with me and my trolley, he would push it for me

Ooh hello mw are you at home?

yes i'm about to go and cook dinner

we had a nice day at portobello road getting wet

i am currently sulking with dp even though i know it's totally unreasonable of me dagnabbit

kitchen chat?

can't, i'd better go and sort things out with dp and the kids are screeching at each other and fighting over a bouncy ball

sorry i didn't answer your texts btw, i blimmin forgot my mobile when i went out!

tut tut

they are quite in already in london - try jolly tolleys from the holding company - they do have a website. i've always wanted one!

i like the bright colours, but my black one looks almost identical and only cost £15 from chapel street market!

We could have a MN trolley meet-up where we throng Liberty at Xmas and knock all the valuables over

snigger

the azul is no longer manufactured......

I bought one for my gran today for christams and it was quite a trendy burgundy one lightweight) The bloke behind the counter kept sniggering and after I had paid he asked me if it was a present for someone with a big grin on his face

honestly! and he is selling them aswell

pssst I still want one though
