Trolley talk

I was listening to a guy on the radio this morning who had invented a supermarket trolley that never goes wonky (wonky trolleys are one of Dragon's pet hates), but I didn't manage to catch the end of the interview so I was looking for the information in the net. I didn't find anything about him - but I found something else: while other people have been trying to make supermarket experiences easier, others have been concentrating on efforts to make it more difficult.

I present to you: the trolley workout. A German company has designed a trim trolley for Tesco - a trolley with a resistance gizmo attached to it that allows you to make pushing the trolley even harder work than it already is.

This must be one of the silliest inventions ever. Shopping on a busy Sunday is stressful enough as it is, I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to make it sweaty as well. Keeping fit is good, but there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed.

You can't add any more comments, but if you wish you can email the author.
