outlander andrew Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hi thereJust on the light side, why do all four wheels of the shopping trolley's here in Oz swivel. It makes it darn hard to manouvre around corners, especially in a carpark that is not flat. I saw a small guy yesterday really battling to get his cristmas shopping to his car safely.I have been in Australia since August 2006.we just love the place and have no other complaints and actually had some good rain here in the outback over the last few days.

ExASP Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hehehe...hmmm I have no idea why but all the trolleys I use tend to go left...I just HATE it...I always bump into something or someone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Parsons Family Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) I agree about the trolley debacle. I am thinking about importing a Pick 'n Pay trolley (hubby wants a woolies one). I just cannot steer the darn things. I don't do a big shop on my own for fear of killing innocent shoppers. My hubby seems to manage... but he does look uncomfortable at times Gaille Edited December 30, 2006 by The Parsons Family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianca S Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 must have taken this from their very creative ancestors from Britain. The trolleys here in UK are heavy and have the same 4 swivel wheels!! very hard. Also for older people and pregnant women. My daughter helped me by pushing and I pull, especially around corners and slopes!So all I can say well done PnP for user friendly shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Klink my hulle is bietjie van hulle trollies af. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ek dink die eningste persoon wat voordeel trek uit die trollies is die makker wat hulle moet bymekaarmaak en terug stoot na die optel punt toe. Baie maklik vir 'n persoon om 'n groot klomp van die "simpel" goed te stoot... Ek het nog nie een persoon in die supermakte raakgeloop wat van die goed hou nie. Miskien moet ons dit na 'n Current Affair verwys, want eninge persoon wat se rug half seer was se rug is nou op krukke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlander andrew Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Het jy al die trollies gesien, hulle is redelik moeilik om om draaie te stoot, die trollie draai maar gaan dan reguit aan soos 'n krap, jy moet dan amper om hom loop om hom "terug te kry" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASydneysider Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Here is a challenge for a creative South African to market trollies in Aus that benefit the customer!!In Sydney Aldi have trolleys that work the same way as the South African ones. If I could get everything I needed from Aldi, I would never go to the stores with the 'crab' trolleys!SAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubossies Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Probeer een stuur met jou maand se shopping in, 'n 1 jarige in die sitplek en 'n 3 jarige wat op die voorpunt staan. Ek het ten minste 'n paar Stallone bo-arms ontwikkel vandat ek hier is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparrow Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Ek deel kantoor saam met ‘n knaap van NZ. Hy kla ook oor die trollies. Dit is natuurlik baie sports saam met al die vliee; Een hand wat waai en een hand wat probeer stuur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
