Comment on Old ladies with tartan shopping trolleys

The fourwheeled version is unique to Great Britain, in Germany we just have the boring two wheeled species. Here they are called Hackenporsche (Heel-Porsche). Lovly to see them! Cheers, Myriam

Comment on Old ladies with tartan shopping trolleys

As a recent 'pensioner' I have lived in dread of the tartan trolley! For years now I've been rolling my old auntie's wicker trolley back and forth to the shops...but it is dying, it is so old. Believe me, I have tried everywhere to replace it and have discovered that no one makes them any more? Why on earth not, when they are so much in demand, selling secondhand to bidders on e-bay at alarmingly high prices. Is there no enterprising manufacturer out there who wants to make a fortune? I'd do it myself if I had the wherewithal!

Wherever you go you see people mit shopper trollies of all kinds and colours. I don?t think they are unique to Britain. Sorry.
