Why don't you want your national emblem/flower @Sheal ? I thought your emblem was the 3 legs, not sure what your flower is?

 

I think Woo was pulling our legs (or three legs in Sheal's case )

 

Can't do that at Sainsbury's. The wheels lock if you go outside their car park.

 

@shiney you mean that you can actually park in the car park

 

Our local Sainsbury's is quite up to date. They obviously have some sort of radio circuit that disables the trolley wheels.

They also allow us three hours parking which enables us to go shopping in other shops as well. They don't have a lot of car park attendants (it's a big car park) as the system photographs your number plate on entry, displays it on a board as you drive in and shows what time you have to be out by. I assume that if it doesn't log you going out before the end of your time a man comes and tickets the car.

In the next town Sainsbury's are upstairs in a shopping centre. You pick your trolley up in the car park downstairs and there's a travelator to take you up. The moment the trolley is on the travelator the wheels lock on to it (presumably magnetic) so there's no danger of it rolling down again. Very good for mums with young kids.

 

Although ragwort is poisonous it gets a rather harsh press. It's an alkaloid that if eaten in quantity can cause cumulative adverse effects in the liver. Horses would still need to eat quite a lot to be poisoned. Goats can take quite a high amount of it.

It's not poisonous for humans to handle it but it's only harmful if ingested.

 

Aaaah, so they've heard about you and you pushing them into the local canal!!
