If you push a shopping trolly in a ditch, will it burrow deep and sprout? Or will it just lie about like a bum?

According to my studies of discarded shopping trollies, based on statistical information gathered over twenty five years, not one shopping trolley mated and bred offspring. Some do flourish in their damp and muddy home however, as weeds and sediment will tend to build up around them thus creating the perfect enviroment for the urban trolley. Trolleys do like ditches though, and I have seen at least one with a thriving population of four trolleys living together in an adonised community.

 

Brings tears to your eyes.

Wow...I never knew that trollies were so compatible with the urban ditch soil. The communal nature I reckoned, given that they are constantly around their mates in parking lots and in stores. Fascinating study, Prof. Caldrail.

What you have to understand is that domesticated trolleys you find in supermarket car parks are tended to by trolleyherds, but that sometimes trolley rustlers make off with them and invariably dump them in ditches, and thats despite devices to keep them shackled to their home carpark. Its a growing problem. Numbers suggest trolleys aren't an endangered species but their cruel treatment by some shoppers is ubelievable. I hope that in some small way I have made you aware of the plight of the Lesser Spotted British Trolley.

Indeed you have. The next time I see a trolley in a ditch, I'll treat it with care, maybe even throw some more dirt around it. I truly suspect that a dirty trolley is a happy trolley.

Remember - A trolley is not just for Christmas....

I'm waiting for some British army general to burst in saying, "ohl-rite, that's it...this is entirely too silly."
