Letter: Letters: Trolley trouble

From CAROL STEVENSON

I was rather concerned to read about airport luggage trolleys gathering
in a Sussex seaside town, (Feedback, 7 November and Letters, 21 November).
These are not mere artifacts but the migratory phase of a particularly unpleasant
colonial organism.

The best known study of this can be found in Terry Pratchett’s work
Reaper Man. He was studying a slightly different species (the supermarket
trolley) but I suspect the life cycles are very similar.

Do not allow these trolleys to swarm in your town, or they will form
a colony – an international travel terminus.

I hope this warning has come early enough.
