Time to start "borrowing" them? Bit council though.

How many sea front arcades have the tables turned.

All it will do is mean that the lovely empty space you were about to park in, is in fact occupied by a trolley that the previous owner had no incentive to return to the trolley bay.

And an increase of trolleys rolling around the car park hitting your car.

They don't do it around me, so that will still be the norm. Lazy gets that is.

I liked the bit about one dropped off a boat but they knew where it was so still legal tender.

Watch out for the 2016 dated coins

There are some rare 2p coins about. Apparently. A result of a botched let out or whatever. Might be a few keepers with this lot.
