Just popped into Harris Teeter to grab some fruit and veg. There was another gentleman at the apples along side me. I turned and put my bananas in my trolley and continued choosing some juicy green apples. He said 'excuse me'. Well I could see I wasn't in his way, and he wasn't in mine - so I just said 'no problem'. Then he said 'excuse me', again, 'but your putting your food into my trolley'. We both laughed, and I apologised. I transferred my stuff from his trolley to mine. Then he said 'actually, your taking my food too'.
I knew I shouldn't have exercised this morning!

Joanne - did he really say 'you're putting your food in my trolley'? Did you do your grocery shopping across the pond? I can't say I've ever heard anyone refer to their shopping cart that way, a buggy yes, trolley no. ;)
What I did forget to mention was that the guy was English. Small world. So, yes he did say 'trolley'. He didn't have a brilliant English accent - I guess he must have been here a while, but as soon as I heard the world 'trolley' I guess I should have known.
Oh well don't I feel sheepish now! There I go trying to call you out and I was wrong...no matter. I love hearing your englishisms!
you're forgiven!
Great post! I am enjoying your blog.
I still can't get used to calling the cart a "buggy" like the southerners here. I think much prefer trolley.
Hey Katie
Great hearing from you!!
I just have to figure out how to add your blog to mine so I can keep up with you! There's so much I need to learn!
