*gasp* Where can I buy one?! I can put a bell on it and have tassels on the the seat handles.


Aye, trendsetter indeed :tongue:

I'll be compelled to greet you with some jibe about how your arthritis must be flaring up again, though.
I always just took a backpack, heavier stuff in there, lighter/ bulkier things in a normal plastic bag :dontknow: Unless you plan on buying a load of big bottles of coke and huge bags of rice, it's perfectly manageable :p:

I can't speak for females but I'm sure if any guys are looking they'll probs be more interested in you than the trolly :lol:

The Polka dot doesn't help your case though. Go for something plain me says.


Aha I suppose it is a talking point or any potential suitors out there.

Might just get a big back pack then guys, lets hope my spine survives.

Well my mum thought it was a good idea! She is going to be bitterly disappointed...
My mum always makes me pull one of these whenever i go food shopping with her, i really don't like them as i do only really see old ladies having them :tongue:

However they can be really useful, so if you are buying a lot of food then it would be convenient. Getting a patterned one does definitely look better than a normal black one:^_^:

I think your trolley is cool and you shouldn't be afraid of being "outcasted" because it's soooo not 2013 (nor 2012 actually but whatever :biggrin:) but I think Jelephant made a point : a trolley can only be used to bring food whereas a backpack can be used for many occasions... Where are you going to store your trolley ? Maybe you can also use it as a laundry basket I don't know...

Haha she's just recently had a baby so she can't pull it anymore. Not the most flattering thing to have to pull around but guess its better than carrying loads of heavy bags :tongue:

Right people, I've sorted it. My mother has just reminded me that I have a bike, so that, a back pack and some panniers should do me just fine.

This thread was a bit of a waste of time, sorry :colondollar:

In that case you might as well kill two birds with one stone.

I nearly got run over by one of those in morrisons the other day - they are deadly!

Ah, been there, done that. Make sure to at least try to fill them with equal weights. :tongue:

Cycling with all that weight is easier said than done.

I think the trolley idea was fine. If you emblazon it with something that shows you're ironically self-aware then you could turn a fashion disaster into a triumph.

Hi, I know I didn't help you earlier on but how about you get a medium trendy suitcase so you won't be judged for it. I think it will be a great compromise between health and fashion.
PS suitcase which has an extendable handle to drag it.

Man that'd be brilliant. Taking laziness to new heights.

OP, I'd just go for it tbh. It's practical and you get nice ones as you said.

It also looks very unstable, would be a shame if someone were to just, tip you over.

Fun fact: you're 6 off being the person who has quoted me the most, I have plenty of other week old posts you can reply to :tongue:
