Smurf trolley

 

 

I think Smurf trolley was trying to hide behind that tree, and was failing rather spectacularly!

Worldly possessions

East St. Kilda man uses this dodgy trolley for his worldly possessions.  Hope he's obeying that speed limit sign up there.

Trolley love

Even trolleys need a little action now and then...especially dodgy trolleys!

Cornered...

This dodgy trolley tried to escape, but wiley pursuers cornered it.  Just for the record, trolleys can't climb!

Another Melburnian trolley

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).
