Whereas my local Tesco is flush with new trollies introduced in time for a recent Scan as you Shop upgrade.

Indeed, my nearest Sainsbury's and Morrisons seem to have an abundance of trollies, if the latter are a bit worse for wear.

It's simple - don't just stick a link in and / or quote from the article. This took all of 2 minutes to write: "A head-to-head debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer has been announced to be taking place on ITV. A change from the multi-way debates they've largely from 2015 onwards. Perhaps...
