I prefer a backpack when walking the 1km to the shops.

I've seen them advertised as personal shoppers, but as far as I'm concerned a personal shopper is someone who calls in to your home, gets the list and the cash, then goes and does the shopping for you. <br />My granny trolley has big pram wheels too. After I went smacking to the ground for the second time when the original tiny ones caught in a pavement crack, L scoured the hard rubbish dumps for old prams and put the wheels on the trolley for me. I no longer get up close and personal with the concrete. <br /><br />@EC; yes, do it. They're environmentally friendly and lots of young people are using them over here. I've been using one in various forms since the 70's.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-55047676830841941422011-12-19T09:14:49.621+01:002011-12-19T09:14:49.621+01:00Do it, Elephant's Child, do it.

They really are easy to use, carry heaps and make the schlepping of groceries much more pleasant.<br /><br />A lot of people use them here - uni students, parents, oldies, so you don't have to be called Dulcie and have a daily battle with denture cream to own one.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-33354227547954206282011-12-19T07:58:03.605+01:002011-12-19T07:58:03.605+01:00As someone who is in imminent danger of orangutan ...As someone who is in imminent danger of orangutan arms, they strike me as a great idea.
