I suppose theoretically one can be in charge of a supermarket trolley, and they may even have improved over the years, but surely they have minds of their own?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

That made we chuckle. 🤭Blackcats said:Many years ago as part of recruitment process I had to check the criminal records of staff (senior and responsible professionals). They were nearly always clear but I still remember one who was found guilty of being drunk in charge of a supermarket trolley on a major highway 🙀I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

As a student back in the day, I moved house in a stray supermarket trolley. Needed to make a lot of trips from one horrible damp dive to the next one, but it saved the cost of hiring a van.

Ha ha you lot with tales of supermarket trolleys 🤣 I was once apprehended by a policeman for walking home with a traffic cone on my head singing on the way home from the pub. I was allowed to keep the traffic cone as long as I stopped singing which I thought was a fair exchange 😆
By the way this isn’t a recent event in case you were wondering 🤣
Hair done then went to the park meeting as I felt fine. Both local councillors turned up so was quite a productive meeting.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Ahem, My DS once came home with a traffic cone. I was too frightened to take it to the tip. One of the neighbours saw him. The shame

Isn’t it compulsory to bring a traffic cone home at least once in your life ? 2
