Trolley 534

These two were captured on the fringes of the Chase Estate, having been there for a couple of days or so. One medium trolley from the M&S food hall, one small trolley from Waitrose. Luckily, the small trolley fitted inside the large trolley and walking the two of them was no worse than expected. Best on the shop floor, OK on the level, but a bit of a pain when the pavement is sloping in a direction orthogonal to the direction of travel.

No small trolleys in the Waitrose stack. Plenty of medium trolleys in the M&S stack. No lemon sherbets in Hatty's. Wholesaler problems. Stuck in some container at Felixstowe (my birth place)? I could have had strawberry sherbets but I didn't fancy them - not that I asked for a sample.

A rather splendid Russian vine in the Screwfix passage. Otherwise, Fallopia baldschuanica, a vine which, for some curious taxonomic reason is also a member of the knotweed family. Years ago, I tried to grow one up a dead plum tree, which I thought entirely suitable, but it failed to thrive and went when the plum tree finally rotted and fell over.

A new to me flowering shrub in the bed outside the Screwfix front door. To be looked up at some point.

First line recovery, otherwise FLR, has been a useful (if rather unsporting) source of registration plates, although they have failed to deliver on No.36 where I have been stuck for well over a year now. This medium recovery vehicle, parked outside the Ford Centre, appeared to have started life with Iveco, but to have been finished off in Poland.

Iveco appearing to be an Italian-French manufacturer, domiciled for some reason in the Netherlands. While Tevor, as far as I can tell, goes in for customising trucks made by other people. See references 3 and 4. It seems that the Poles do more than pork sausages, horse racing, agriculture and coal.

PS: horses because I remember a Polish barman in Vauxhall telling me that the communist regime went to a lot of expense and bother to make sure that the people had access to horse racing. To the extent that his council flat in Warsaw came with a fine view of one of their race tracks.
