2x18 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Not Ebay, But Aldi are doing a special on a german made trolley this week in the U.K. Just bought one for my Omni 15, and its really well made and light and cheap at only £12.99 with a robust extending handle.

[/quote] Yeah. I tried picking up one of these when Aldi's had them last year, and they sold out double quick. I think a lot of people use Aldis as a cheap source for ebay items.

Beedster Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Real men carry their gear and don't wheel it around like a bloody air stewardess Is it just me or has there been a recent 'trollyisation' of everyday life? You get off a train these days and get held up behind a queue of otherwise fit and healthy men wheeling what are clearly small and lightweight bags on an inherently unstable trolly as if they were in fact moving a grand piano up a 20% hill. The bloody things invariably require their puny-limbed owners to make numerous adjustments before/during/after stairs, corners, kerbs, cracks in the pavement etc and the resultant slowing of everything else whilst 20 or 30 wimps make said adjustments at the same time renders me utterly speechless. I have however found that the odd word of encouragment such as "do you need a hand carrying your bag love" to a bloke in his mid 20's struggling to get his 10kg trolly bag down the stairs does the trick. Well, it makes me feel better anyway Take home message: If you can't carry it, buy a smaller one! Rant over Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though plumping one's GK 200MB onto the stage in front of slightly more intimidating bass rigs does require the ability to say "size doesn't matter" and really mean it...

paul, the Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Lidl trolleys are rental only. It's a reflection of demand in the housing market. And their muesli is orgasmic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
