Trolley 207 and 208

A first: two trolleys from the dark side, that is to say from a street to the south of the High Street. On the way to Old Epsom, to the Woodcote Estate and the RAC Club. This last being a place where at least one Treasury Mandarin (I don't think he ever quite made it to Treasury Knight) went for an annual game of golf. I never got to know as whose guest, but his work would have brought him into contact with all kinds of interesting and important people. A place with a bar which I have visited once, a comfortable, slightly shabby place, rather like a saloon bar of old. Plus a good drop of bitter and a good selection of cigars.

The first thought was that they were two trolleys from the M&S food hall, but closer inspection revealed that the rather scruffy one in front actually came from Wilko, on the other side of the market place, so it was right and proper to score the capture as two trolleys.

The blue token gathered yesterday was invested to release the Wilko trolley from the M&S trolley, and returned when the latter was put in the M&S stack.
