Trolley 741

An M&S trolley tucked into the side of the hair operation tucked into the front of T.K.Maxx. Another trolley which I failed to fit properly into its stack.

Odd how the tins that one finds in trolleys are often half full. Maybe they were never paid for in the first place. Fortunately, there are plenty of suitable places to empty them.

Another oddity was the way that this fairly new street food vendor had a wheel lock on each side of his van. As it turned out, my guess that the van was going to be left there overnight was right. Not altogether sure that I approve of such vans taking up residence in this way. But they seem to be popular, so maybe I will come around.

A late afternoon view of the Hook Road car park, which I read recently is due to be redeveloped, with car parking charges in no way recovering the cost of running the place. Which I have a soft spot for, first because I like the two-tone red brick. Second, because I bought my Britannia Atlas from a car boot sale here one Sunday, years ago now. A good, middle of the road atlas and I can claim acquaintance - maybe twenty five years ago now - with the chap who did the handsome double page spread for Spain. Opened up there today to study the basin of the river Ebro.

Finally on the market! The repurposed block of garages at the Epsom end of Hook Road, with the repurposing having gone on for years and years. Not on the not-very-good Bernard Marcus website yesterday evening, but I popped into their shop on the High Street this morning to be told that it soon would be, at £800,000, which seemed a bit strong. I asked about a survey, thinking that perhaps, in all the circumstances, the vendor might have supplied one, but the young lady told me that was not the policy. Survey down to me. And that the repurposing had all been done very properly, not DIY at all. Full quota of building certificates.

I shall take a look at their website again in few days.
