Trolleys 751 and 752

The first circuit of the day did not yield any trolleys. But I did come across extensive gardening action on the Sainsbury's perimeter at Kiln Lane. With a large stash of shrubs in the top corner to which old trolleys used to be retired.

And chain saw action down the alley leading to the footbridge. Are they taking down the small trees on the bank in favour of shrubs? And if so, why? Some of the small trees in question being snapped above - with the chain saws hidden behind. I await my next visit with interest.

Then down Blenheim Road, poking around the First Line Recovery front yard, I was asked my business by a young man from First Line, a young man who, as luck would have it, seemed to know all about registration plates. I learned, for example, that you could not attach any old plate to any old car. There were rules and regulations. Furthermore, he seemed to think it very unlikely that I was ever going to find a No.39, my next number - although I did not think to ask why No.38 was different. His own plate was something to do with the football club he supported, but I did not think to make a note of the details, now forgotten.

He also explained that while trailers had neither their own registration plates nor MOTs, there was some kind of inspection regime for large and complicated trailers, the sort of trailer that sports the sort of control panel noticed at reference 3. Plus, I know from the time I have spent sitting on my cycle behind them, lots of trailers carry all kinds of complicated references and identifiers. All part of asset management as it came to be known during my days in the world of work.

The afternoon circuit was more productive, with the first trolley being a B&M trolley, picked up from the Town Hall car park, not a place I visit very often.

And the second trolley being another from B&M, picked up from the Kokoro Passage.

From there to take in the trolley scene at Wetherspoon's. 

I did not like to poke around for a maker's badge, but I did learn from my telephone that the trolley people, Wanzl, also make all manner of furnishings for the retail scene. Maybe they do the fine new cupboards that Sainsbury's are installing in their store at Kiln Lane?

PS: will the blue paint on our water meter hole - to be seen at reference 3 - wash off before Thames Water are back to deal with the leak? More than three weeks now. While they managed the rather more serious leak under the pavement outside Pullingers (for art supplies) in town the next day. At least, there is still a hole, but no longer a leak. At least not one that can be seen.
