Oh yeah, I remember the trolleys we had, my mate Geoff and I had a two man trolley where we used to sit back to back and the person on the back used to supply the propulsion and as I was heaviest of the two it invariably was me on the back. We finished with trolleys about 1964 when our legs were long enough to ride a bike, it was then when the quest for tractive power took off, five years later I passed my driving test. Thinking back, if it wasn't for those long summer days on Sandy lane and Adelaide Street on the trolley I may have had more money in the bank now by not having spent it on so many different cars/motor bikes etc...
