A favourite place to abandon trolleys, by the Old Bridge End Inn where the canal is culverted; probably pushed up the canal bank from Asda in town.

First roll back from my double exposure mod on one of my Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slims.

Now I can shoot perfectly aligned double exposures, at least with myself. Although I kept forgetting not to wind one after each shot so ended up with quite a few single exposures on the roll.

ASDA (Associated Dairies, if you are old fashioned, Wal*Mart if you are young) took over Netto's UK stores in 2010, to convert them in 2011.

The Woodseats one is one of the first in Sheffield to be converted to a mini-ASDA (I think Manor Top opened earlier?). Quite a change for ASDA to run small shops (whilst Tesco, Sainsburys and Co-op do convenience stores, ASDA tend to stick to the "hypermarket" end of the scale).

But with less scope for growth in big shops, and competition from smaller operations like Lidl/Aldi (with smaller overheads), this is ASDA fighting back by going small.

This Asda trolley has come on a one and a half mile trek to get a view of the Bristol Channel.

There was an Asda trolley dumped here several days ago. That disappeared (amazingly, not into the canal at the back). This is a popular drop off point for errant trolleys, many of which end up in the canal. I suspect someone in the houses here likes to “borrow” trolleys to fetch stuff home. You never see anyone walking empty trolleys back into town though.

Asda's over cautiousness in full effect, pity they forgot about the book title being on the spine too.

Same as the last one, I think Asda should start paying me.

In 2010 ASDA bought the UK stores of Netto; they started converting them in 2011. This one at Manor Top is one of the first in Yorkshire to be converted.

ASDA have a big share of the "large" supermarket business, but in recent years Tesco and Sainsburys have moved into the "small" shops end of the market too, to increase their market share. Whilst hypermarkets will always do well in the UK, they aren't suitable for many people, and there's been a new focus by the big companies at "local" shops (where they may be able to sell things for more money for those unable to drive to out-of-town hypermarkets and pay for a £100 trolley of goods - the "top up" market of those spending £10/£20 a time can be just as lucrative)
