    That must've been an absolutely horrifying situation to be in. I'm very glad you got out ok.

    Just ignore the man. It's just attention seeking.

    A truely sobering story, Frosty - there's definately a lesson in there for us all, I suspect. I'll be f*cked if I can work out what it is, though - I suspect it's got something to do with using paper rather than plastic carrier bags, perhaps?

    Anyway, glad to hear that you made it back alive. Of course if you'd been less of a god-damned stroke, you'd have already accounted for shopping trolley-related contingencies when you planned this particular 'mission'. And where was your team when this was going on?!

    Naturally DIR has the answer to this. I refer the honourable gentlemen to the exploits of the illustrious PWKK - If I remember rightly, Jarrod & George ran into a similar situation on one of their 'big pushes' a few years back. 8 hours back into an uncharted cave system, the story goes that the GIT managed to become entanged in an ASDA shopping trolley during a sudden and unexpected silt out. If it weren't for Jarrod's quick thinking - and the pound coin he always carries to free up a trolley at his local supermarket - things could have turned out a lot different that day. Suffice to say that anyone not Gooey trained (or with loose change about their person) would have died that day...

    Shopping trolleys should be treated with respect, boys and girls...

    great account! sent a shiver down my spine!! eeeuuuww!

    Even with streamlined dive kit it is still so easy to get entangled. I don't suppose you could even get out of your harness/ bc due to the bloody trolley?

    ....need to invent bull bars for divers.....;.
