Hey, when I was in m 20’s and living in Boston I used one of these! There was nothing better for grocery shoppping or a trip to the laundromat 🙂

Delightful images. Stephen Gill has a great eye for angle, enhancing the stoic and noble air of these women.

Your amusing but erudite thoughts, GA, also brighted a dull day. Thank you.

“Like eighteenth century aristocrats painted by Gainsborough, these women claim their right to existence and take possession of the place they inhabit with unquestionable authority.” I LOVE this remark. Thank you for this story and pics.

Dear GA. I love this post which reminds me that blokes also find shopping trolleys useful. As your erstwhile pupil you may remember that I did feature my own, Bobby2 in a blog, together with the amazing spectacle of two trolley ladies on a train hiding a seventeen foot python in one………https://www.mindfullybertie.org.uk/the-story-of-bobby-2/.

I like the two ladies who have used pushchairs as their shopping trolley. Great way of recycling.

I love this story . These Trollies are so important in allowing people who are a bit wobbly and who may not go out much otherwise to be out and about without losing their pride by using a wheeled frame. I work as a physiotherapist and I often advise people who have had falls or near misses to get a trolley . Falls are devastating fro people sense of confidence and safety . Many a time I have visited people at home who have given up a great deal because they are to afraid to go out in case they fall. Thank god fro the humble trolley !

Great selection of photos, I’m always fascinated by the trolleys I see here, too. Valerie

The lady wearing racing gloves appears to have forgotten something. I like the distant gaze most of them seem to be wearing – as if they’re modelling for a trolley catalogue.
