From Hal Porter
Your Feedback item about a supermarket placing 13 types of trolley at customers’ disposal, which I am sure to the initiated is quite amusing, is absolutely incomprehensible to me (7 August).
Say “trolley” and I think of an electric rail-car running along tracks, often set in a street, and obtaining power from overhead lines (and currently threatened with extinction in North America). Could you translate?
The editor writes:
• Sorry! Our British trolley is your shopping cart, and your trolley is our tram.
