[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 7411426, member: 28532"] Anyone noticed a tall slim lady, 30ish, pushing around trolleys full of "rubbish"? Was driving in the Douglas Road this morning when just past St Finbarr's Hospital traffic had slowed very dramatically, nearly to a standstill. Eventually got to see what the problem was. A shopping trolley piled high with cans and bottles and plastic and even two Dunnes Stores plastic baskets was out in the middle of the outbound lane on the bridge by the Southern Star and cars were slowly manoeuvering around it in both directions. I pulled in, and proceeded to push the trolley onto the path by the Southern Star (still leaving plenty of room for pedestrians to pass) when this not un-attractive quite healthy looking lady came over and said "It's OK that's mine". I looked at her a bit puzzled and said "You can't just leave it in the middle of the road blocking traffic" to which she replied "Whatever". As the obstruction was removed and traffic could move again I got back into my car I noticed she'd another similar trolley about 20 yards down the hill on Southern Road, out on the road, not even in the cycle lane. It seems she's trying to push two very over-laden trolleys into town and couldn't give a continental who she inconveniences on her way. My daughter said she'd seen the same woman on the Ballinlough Road last week pushing one trolley that was piled high too. Could be someone collecting discarded bottles and cans for recycling in the new return centres I guess but it wouldn't explain the various bits of plastic. [/QUOTE]
