This looks very imaginative! Always excellent to see something creative & original & I will often spend a lot more time appreciating an exhibit which was very thoughtfully planned than a multi-million euro one thrown off by some architectural studio on a slow Friday.

Will it be ceremonially opened by a dignitary throwing a supermarket trolley into it?*
Actually I like the idea, as I gather from the labels that it will be a display of native species.

* I've just thought - there could be a sponsorship opportunity here. I'll bet As** would pay the zoo to use a Tes** trolley

That is hilarious! And the strangest thing about those trolleys in waterways is that there is often no supermarket for miles around. I have great theories for all manner of complicated matters in life but I must say this always has me puzzled.

So so true!, however supermarket trollys in waterways provide great protection for small fish and fry from predation. I recall seeing a trolly in a canal a few years back with a terrapin sitting on it enjoying a sunbathing session. In addition to the fact that there is never a supermarket near, who else has noticed that they always seem to be on their side or upside down when in a waterway....

I think it's a desperate bid from the TLF or "Trolly Liberation Front" and occasionally one sacrifices it'self into a canal for effect!!
