Subject: Re: buggy vs. cart



donny grayson asks about shopping carts...



where i grew up (upstate ny) they were only "shopping carts", that i

remember (usually not shortened to "cart") (i also worked in a

grocery store, in the early 80s).



in south africa (as well as other more-recently-british places, i

think), they use "trolley", but i think i'd heard that in the states

too (perhaps when i lived in massachusetts?).
