Trolley Hooters

oldone_2

Does anyone know where I can get a small battery operated horn for fitting on the handles of a supermarket shopping trolley.

Went shopping with the wife this morning, and lost count of the times our progress was impeded by stupid idiots blocking the way while making mobile 'phone calls.Obviously they are extremely important people making extremely important calls.

Politely asking them to move has no effect since habitual mobile users are deaf; so a nice loud honk from a horn inches from their back should do the trick.

Alternatively, anyone want to support a petition to the government, asking for the use of mobile 'phones in public to be banned.

The simple solution would be to have alternate hourly shopping for men and women. Women are another species when they are in "Shopping Mode".

Adopt the Lady Freda Mode, a swift click of heels, and stern excuse me and then bang into 'em.

Failing that, thank god for Waitrose

Waitrose is full of doddery oldies who can hardly steer a trolley.

More cost effective solution - don't go shopping with the wife.

Or this if you must try here - should shift the old sods

That would surely wet their knickers, one must be more supple in their approach. These are ladies shopping. Use one of these.

Problem is I doubt they would make it through the doors!

Thanks for making me laugh - you've really struck a chord with me - I've had to reduce my visits to supermarkets to once a week as I get sooo wound up by the people in there.

Whilst we are on the subject of irritating people in shops - can I just add that a particular peeve of mine is elderly people who push in front of you in the queue....................:mad:

They should introduce curfews for the over 65's - no shopping allowed between the hours of 11:30 and 14:30 and 17:00 - 19:00 Monday to Friday and all day Saturday !

electrified cattle prods should be fitted as standard to all supermarket trollies
