I know this sounds pathetic, but the trolley system at Sainbury's, Dog Kennel Hill is driving me to distraction.

Some of the trolley's you have to unlock for ?1. Fair enough, but they have about 5 diffrent types of tolley.

When you come to take the shopping out and go to retrieve your ?1 from a like trolley you can't not find one. You spend the next 10 mins walking round the car park trying to find a trolley that matches yours so that you can get your quid back.

Even the guys that collect the trolleys think the system is stupid.

I understand the problem completely having done it recently too - but it is just a trolley?! maybe next time pick up a trolley you do not have to pay for (they are still there) then you can leave it at any trolley hut you like when your done?

I know Quids, ain't it great when you have a Friday off and spend most of the afternoon in the pub.

Then back home with a few large Peronis and get all surreal on a trolly thread.

It's what makes Fridays off special.

Cheers.

Quids, I salute you. It's good to know that it's not just me who heads straight to 'langers' after work.

And nice use of the Old English 'wanckered'.

I'm raising a large Peroni in your direction.

And before anyone makes an innuendo, it's an Italian beer, not a suppository.

The one thing that makes the weekly shop bearable is the staff at Sainsbury's. There does not seem to be a high turnover of staff. You see the same people regularly and they are always very polite and helpful. If 16 automated tills means job losses then that is really bad.

I flintch when the total of the weekly shop is revealled, the supermarkets are coining it in. I have tried all the local supermarkets, Tesco, Asda, Somerfield and always gravitate back to Sainsbury, mainly because of the freindly staff. I also find Iceland Staff really nice too.

    • We’ve just done a loft extension and needed it all painted as well as touch ups to the rest of the house. Our experience with Hussein and his team was great. Communication good, they turned up on time every day, and completed the job in the time frame initially stated. The finished job looks great, I would definitely recommend.
    • Sue, we are in a similar position - though not quite as ancient as you! 🤣 Ours is a 21 year old Honda Civic.  Reliable as hell, IS ULEZ compliant, passes all the tests, MOTS etc.  BUT, as it sits on the drive most of the time, is now as dead as a doornail to the extent that we can no longer open it with the fob, though we are able to open the passenger door only, with the key.  Jump leads didn't work, so hubby bought a "starter" similar to what breakdown companies use.  Nowt.  Hubby then called out the AA who were able to start it via their van.  However, the AA advised leaving the car running for at least an hour and a half.  We decided not to do that as the fumes would be unpleasant for us and our neighbours.  They also informed us that unless we replaced the battery, we would not be able to call them out again.  Long story short, once we turned the engine off it wouldn't re-start.  So, hubby has now bought a trickle charger from Argos (roughly £35 and AA approved).  Apparently it could take up to 100 hours to charge and given that we don't want to leave it charging overnight or in the rain, it will be a while before we will know whether this has solved the issue.  So, watch this space! I am hoping this £35 will be a good investment.
