Eloethan that is what came to my mind and my first thought was that I would end up with a nasty injury.

Suppose so "Twinkle".

She sounds caring Nonu.

Sholleys they are called around these parts. Last week I got a bus into town. On the lower deck where I was sitting, there were three of these things, two pushchairs, two walking frames and a dog. You had to be a contortionist to get off that bus. tchgrin

Well, I wouldn't either , but she is one of those sort of people, you must have them in your own circle who know better [they think] than you !
She is a lovely person, BUT.

Yes. My initial thought was a bus, and then a child's toy.

Why is your friend trying to talk you into getting one, Nonu? What's it to her?
I wouldn't dream of imposing my shopping trolley preferences on anyone else confused

I thought initially you were talking about one of those round balloon type things that children bounce on! I was mighty impressed and quite disappointed when you said it was a shopping trolley. (Having checked, the children's toy is spelt Hopper).

A Hoppa around here is the hop on hop off buses that run around Heathrow Airport... grin
I really don't lug any shopping anywhere apart from the shopping trolley to the boot of the car.. bits and pieces shopping is usually only milk or a forgotten item.. no need for a trolley.

I have a purple one and I love it for shopping at our local market as the car park is a bit of a trek.

Also useful for carting library books to the car.

A friend has just recently bought one and is trying to talk me into getting one , don"t really fancy it to be honest, I find I don"t do so much Lugging of shopping as I used to .

[They are what used to called shopping trolleys, by the way]
