Have farmers gone off their trolleys?

“Would you ever please go to the supermarket and collect a few messages for me?” my missus asked the other day.

Afraid that farmers might have all the trolleys chained up, she turned to me in her hour of need.

“Of course I will,” says I, putting on the transport box to the back of the tractor. A fellow needs no shopping trolley when he has a transport box. And, later, with the shopping done, I turned to leave the supermarket car park, only to spot a herd of protesting farmers chained up to a trolley bay.
