Trolley 318

Captured at the start of East Street, just past the hoarding at the junction with Hook Road. A Sainsbury's trolley with front wheel lock, not deployed. A wheel lock which did, nevertheless, make it a bit of a pain to wheel back to Kiln Lane, the adapted wheel jumping around on the bumpy pavement even more than the regular wheels. Designed for the smooth surface to be found at Kiln Lane, rather than the regular roads.

The grass in this snap has grown well this year, the spot on which the trolley was standing having been used to park cars until earlier in the year, which meant that it was a bit of a muddy mess. Which all goes to show that one can get grass back quite quickly if the conditions are right.

Once again, I noticed the sign saying 'Fresh Kitchen' on the windows above the large, and usually quiet, first floor café at Sainsbury's. This morning I am moved to look it up, to find from the foodie/makeover website at reference 1 that: 'Sainsbury’s has taken a radical step with the opening of its new freshly-made sandwich bar format, Fresh Kitchen. Nellie Nichols went along to see how the new concept measures up against the very best ... If you had told me all those years ago I would be coming today to visit the new Sainsbury’s concept of freshly-made-on-site sandwiches, I wouldn’t have believed a word of it, but, to be honest, I’ve recently thought it was only a matter of time before one of the retailers tried their hand at it. After all, can it be that difficult to prepare an extensive range of handmade delicious, fresh sandwiches in an on-site kitchen delivered straight onto the shelves? ... I’m met by order, functionality and a good modern everyday design it’s hard not to like ... So far, so good ...'. A post which dates from 2011, so why has it taken so long to hit the Tier One store at Kiln Lane? Should I go and sample their bacon sandwiches, given that foodies are fully on-board with sarnies and pies these days? Which I suppose is all part of television journalists being required to put on regional accents.
