The Dodgy Trolley

One of the best things I heard during my recent trip to Melbourne, Australia was the term, "dodgy trolley."  

A trolley is Melburnian for shopping cart, and dodgy, well dodgy means...you know, dodgy!  Sketchy, awful, awry, broken--all apt synonyms for "dodgy."

It just sounds so great--like nothing an American would ever say!  My friend Lisa and I have been talking about it ever since I heard it.  And because I have a really odd sense of humor, I decided there needed to be a blog dedicated to dodgy trolleys everywhere.  

So without further adieu, our first batch of dodgy trolleys:

These photos show the dodgy trolley at its finest.  Taken by my friend, Lisa Luscombe, the pictures show the migration of the dodgy trolley from the lane way where it was first spotted to a neighboring street, where it seems to have taken up permanent residence!  

Let's hope DT#1 finds its way back home to Cole's (the local grocery).
