Having struggled for years carrying a shopping basket provided by the store I was using at the time, the other day I thought I'd be brave and get one of the trolleys to use. I went to get one and hadn't a clue what to do! A very nice lady came to my assistance and away I happily went.
What I did not realise was they have a mind of their own. I think that one trolley was against me from the start. It took me (not the other way round) out onto the pavement full of little children in buggies and old ladies and started to career wildly all over the place amid much shouting and cursing. Eventually I managed to curb the beast.
Having almost run over an old man sitting on the pavement with his cap beside him full of coins and reducing a toddler to tears by banging into his buggy and causing his teddy to fall overboard, I eventually reached safe haven and did my shopping though worrying all the time that I had do the reverse journey to return the beast to its stall.
All was well eventually, but I will use a basket in future!

One of the things I don't like about the largest trolleys is trying to get at the things at the bottom when you've got a long queue behind you waiting for you to get on with it and pay.
