The fact that trolleys are found in the canal is a misjudgment on the trolly's part and once placed is irreversible.

The extinguisher has not moved position, just rotated on its axis, the reason for this is unknown at this time.
I am sorry Dave but i have to take issue with your unfounded and ill researched conclusion that, and i quote "it is known shopping trolleys prefer shallow water" i as you know have extensive experience in the hunting and eradication of canal invading parasites, and have known trolleys to dwell in the shallows and also the deep waters some disguised some fully out in all their glory.This poses a serious risk despite your statement to the contrary,the lack of buoyancy is not a problem to them as they a primarily an ambush creature pre fairing to lay in wait for some unsuspecting passer by.Your pictures of the disguised trolleys are also misleading as they appear to be taken in a river rather than a canal, they are just a attempt to back up your flawed argument that trolleys are only found in the shallows. The axis spinning thing with the extinguisher could that be an elaborate mating ritual to attract a mate maybe?????
