Trolley 202

The pair to trolley 201, a Wilko trolley, somewhat bent. As if some rather heavy youth had stood on the front of the basket in order to climb over a wall or something of that sort. But it still worked, and even if Wilko did not want it in their stack, it was their responsibility to dispose of it responsibly, so it was returned and scored.

As it happened, the relevant stack at Wilko was empty, so I neither recovered an additional pound, which would have represented 100% profit on the morning's speculation nor checked whether bent, it still stacked.

I wondered about scoring the fake stone work as a fake, but the rules committee, consulted by text, ruled that I could not score both a fake and a trolley with the same snap. Fake stone work which has always rather irritated me; not because it is fake, but because the design does not work, it has not been faked properly. See, for example, the failure to continue the joins between the blocks of stones on the returns to the arch. Careless or sloppy detailing - from which one deduces that the builders of affordable flats are not prepared to shell out on proper architects: do enough to keep the heritage people and the council at bay, but no more.
