Smiley I will not leave you alone in feeling daft I took my trolley into town today and lost control of it as I tried to open a door and wheel my trolley at the same time, it hit the deck complete with contents.

An old lady bent to pick it up for me:o

Did she ask you if you just passed your test moggins?

I have to admit that I have an awful habit with my trolley...of running over men's feet . NOT intentionally of course! Our inner city shopping areas are quite small and mens feet can be quite big, so.....

To any men who have had their toes squashed in N London by a manic, trolley pulling woman,

I'm really, really sorry :heartsmil

As a long standing trolley user - make sure you get one that you can take the bag off easily and fold up the trolley part to put in the car separately. It does take a bit of wiggling - some trolleys are better than others at this. The LIDL one does not take as much weight as my heavy duty one so was fine to do this with. The drill is usually foot on the bottom of the trolley to hold it steady then undo the flap fastening the bag part to the trolley pull the bag over the handle and put it in the car boot. The folded handle then goes on top of the bag or on the back seat.

Don't forget that with some models you can use it as a small sacktruck - I bought a new printer when doing my shopping the other day and removed the half full bag from the trolley put the printer box on the bagrest and then put the shopping bag on top of that. It was a bit heavy and as I hadn't secured the box with bungee elastic or anything I had to be careful but I managed half a mile quite easily (with rests).

I've noticed that with the Lidl one, the base is solid plastic and quite sturdy. I always buy boxes of veg from the market and was contemplating how easy it would be to load them on there, will try and find a bungy cord today.

Have no idea what they are

OH owed me some money for ebay parcels from last month so I got him to pick me one up from Argos as he was going there for a new watch. He nearly had a heartattack when he got it as he couldn't fit it in the boot of the car and wondered how big it was! This is the one I got here

As soon as he got home I unpacked it BUT the box had been re-sealed and one of the wheels wasn't in packaging. I've pulled it all out (kept the packaging) and fitted the wheels but they're loose as in they don't clip on or anything is this right? I'm a little uncertain about using it as I'd be soooooo embarrased if I was going along and the wheel came of the thing :o:o:o:o:o If it's the design then fair enough but if its faulty then I want a new one!

I bought mine years ago from Lakeland Limited - trendy blue and silver grey. DH flatly refuses to have anything to do with it but does admit it helps us get the weekly shop home efficiently! When on hols in Rome, saw many super-trendy women with them in the city - if they can use one and still wear Prada, so can I (albeit without the Prada... sob!).

Was just wondering about the sticker/pin idea for Old Stylers etc. What about like a luggage tag type idea, that way it could be attached to your trolley without damaging the cover etc and not worry about it coming off etc. Could just loop it over the handle or something. Just a thought.

You could get a label sized picture of a safety pin on both sides and laminate it. Then thread a cord through and attach as suitable to your shopper

nicki that doesn't sound at all right to me, I'd take it back and ask to check out another one

Thanks, Holsale, I'd better reconsider my sewing kit transport. I have a very heavy ancient machine.
