Shopping Trolleys

The venerable shopping trolley, the ban of every driver who leaves their vehicle in a car park, are often taken by people to use outside the shop's property. There are many uses that  people find for a shopping trolley as they journey from place to place throughout our fair city.    For the most part those who take the trolleys use them to transport their meager belongings and goods from place to place. Often these good people take to making small improvements to the trolleys by improving and upgrading the wheels. In this they are less likely to become mired in such filth as one might find along the way. Mud, pet excrement, thick piles of wet leaves in the fall or snow and ice in the winter.    A few merry souls living on the streets take shopping trolleys and weave them together in such a manner as to form a little house like structure. They then wrap these constructs with plastic and stuff the spaces with card board boxes and discarded newspaper. This gives them a cozy little place to shelter while trying to get back on their feet and into a proper coffin hostel.    A group of very industrious and special youngsters went so far as to take enough trolleys with which they were able to build a little foot bridge by tossing them into the canals of Little Venice. This enabling them to have a shorter walking path from their tower blocks to the local youth pub. So much detritus that  the water follow was blocked and the city had to dredge up the trolleys along  with the other bits and bobs that were found.    Shops and businesses do not like having their  trolleys taken for use in other activities and functions. It is a corporate cost that the management would rather not have to deal with. Therefore many businesses have taken to attaching GPS devices to their trolleys in order to be able to track them down. However, this to has been an increase in the cost of doing business as enterprising trolley takers remove the GPS and sell it off to third party buyers.    Let us all give praise to our industrious citizens for finding ways to make their lives a little bit better. Nevermind that they may be homeless and moving place to place or just transporting their goods to and fro. Each person is contributing in their own way to ensure the better future for all.
