Finding A parking space seems to be worse than congestion Itself says the RAC. A few of us turn around and go home having failed to find somewhere to park.

Why do they do it? Every Saturday you see them queueing up. How many hours of our lives do we spend In A Queue?

How much congestion, I wonder, is down to people driving around in circles for hours looking for a parking place?

Some of the biggest bust-ups between drivers I've witnessed have been over those precious little rectangles of land where we can leave our vehicles whilst we go to work, or spending money (most likely ) or whatever.
And nothing, apart from speeding, gets Little Surburban England mobilised more readily than other people parking their cars in their streets whilst they go to work, to the tube station or wherever.

Maybe people need to take the car shopping because it's hard to carry it all home on a bus.

Solution: Issue everyone with shopping trolleys they can keep, and equip buses to people can easily wheel their trolleys onto the bus.

Perhaps the supermarkets themselves could have trolleys for sale as well as for hire.

Sorry mate. Only one trolley on at a time. You'll have to wait for the next bus.

Maybe this would work if trolleys had a decent method of steering,

Some brakes, and perhaps even somewhere to sit your children,

Perhaps stick a little engine on them to make them easier to move,

In which case may as well have a driver's seat, and some kind of cover in case it rains..............

I thought Supermarkets already allowed this? How many people do you see pushing trolleys 5 miles away from the Store? leaving everybody else without one. Then they are the ones who moan when there aren't any.
