Trolley 543

The creationists are back in delivery mode, offering this Sainsbury's trolley yesterday morning. Smoking den visible top right. And to the right of the dumpster there was another trolley, but I felt that was too deep in private territory to decently recover. Plus I was not sure about the bother of pushing two trolleys, a lot more than twice the bother of pushing one.

Small trolley stack empty at Sainsbury's. Clearly small remains more popular than big.

Carrying on round into Blenheim Road, I checked the number plates of all the FLR recovery vehicles parked there. To come across the biggest recovery vehicle yet, if we exclude the heavy duty low loaders. The flagship of their fleet? But maybe the first of their vehicles not to sport an FLR registration plate. Perhaps the original Mr. FLR, the one who was keen on that sort of thing, has retired and his son is not keeping up the tradition. A pity, given that once you let such a thing slip, very hard to recover later.

One day I will call in their office and inquire about No.36, on which I remain stuck. I had been hopeful that FLR would have done my business.

In the meantime, I wonder how annoyed all the other businesses are, to have these vehicles hogging the parking. Off snap to the right, for example, we have the large Ford operation. Screwfix visible behind. They might quite reasonably think that FLR ought to get themselves a proper yard, commensurate with the size of their business, rather than free-loading on the public highway. I wonder also where, in the Tories' regulation free world, where this sort of thing gets regulated? Perhaps their idea is that all the businesses round about fight it out among themselves. Let market forces do the business without involving still more parasites from government.
