Compo 10,328 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 My entries for the dead shopping trolley of the year 2016. Taken on the Wick River, Caithness 2nd Jan: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Game, set and match, Compo. That is the most defunct shopping-trolley I have ever seen. Even those in the River Leen at Bulwell are in better health. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 We atent seen the competition yet Chulla. I'll wager there are some better ones out there just crying out to be photographed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 They make you put money in 'em here. Returned if you plug them back into the line when you're done. Haven't seen too many dead ones around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,292 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 #6 Complete with dead cone. Wish all cones would die! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Three cones found their way into my driveway a couple of years ago. They were lonely and forgotten after the level crossing was fitted with barriers but are now living happily at the back of my shed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Some great shots of dead trolleys. If you are mean or from Yorkshire or Scotland you can easily make a substitute coin to fit the trolleys. Any old bit of metal or even plastic will do as long as it fits and is fairly rigid in structure. You can even use a €1 coin - cheaper than a pound Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Asda trolleys so it can't be Bulwell. I just cannot abide unadulterated and pointless stupidity. Why waste energy on such inane behaviour. Here we go ! Pass me the gun ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
