You then need to connect the first trolley to another to get your £1 back so you need 2 to start things off

Not if a) the first trolley was loose and in the local stream

b) your mate had a £1 as well. technically it is only £1 you are spending

surely you'd only need to borrow a pound to collect the trolleys - tedious!

but then when linked together, you'd have your pound back?

so, FREE!

yeah thats how i worked it out. but the intial £1 would be to get the trolleys off the wall.

you could however. use £2 and keep just one tolley back and get your money back on all.

Picture yourself entering into a party of people (initially strangers) from all over the world, with varying ages and backgrounds, and act accordingly.
You might greet the group, you might watch quietly at first from the sidelines to determine the tone of the party.
After watching for a few minutes, you may find that this isn't the kind of party you like.... and that's ok. There are plenty of other parties you can choose from; just leave as politely as you arrived.

If their was behaviour which I considered inappropriate, uncivilised or just plain stupid within these parties, I would have no problem rolling up my sleeves and doing something about it. You see I don't stand on the sidelines like a wallflower, sitting on the fence is not for me. I tell it like it is frank, brutal and harsh. This is what is wrong with this country, people tip toeing around in case they upset someone. people scared to speak the truth in case someone takes offence, not me uh uh. Tell it like it is. You've read The Emperor's New Clothes, well I'm the opposite. I don't agree for the sake of not offending, some of you should follow suit.

After watching for a few minutes, you may find a terrible urge to order the staff to bring forth the Ferrero Rocher.

Problem solved

I completely and utterly agree, although this description of yourself was tedious to read and a bit too long.

They say that half the pound coins are counterfeit anyway. No one can be bothered to check them, I certainly can't.

But if acquiring some serious norkage (and I'm not referring to your moobs) was a qualification you'd have a masters degree
