moss bank was the ultimate place to use your trolley, the hills were awesome (especially the brow)

That's not a tut tut
Tut tuts didn't have wrap-around seats and they used spoked pram-wheels

Exactly. Look at the authors' names. Glyn and Julian Bridgewater don't sound qualified to write on the subject. They probably went to prep school.

I just remembered the American Soap Box Derby. Take a look at their idea of a kart. I was intrigued to read about the scandal in 1973.

Even the Thailanders have caught on to the name. They call their motorised rickshaws tuk tuks . Yet another thing that originated in St Helens!

In our area, that was toll bar we called them trolleys.
My one and only which i made myself was a 4ft piece of shelving with a cross piece of wood and a hole bored
through with a red hot poker and a nut and bolt to anchor it, only managed to obtain one pair of wheels so i ended
up with a roller skate on the rear, but boy could it go, of coarse there was very little traffic on the roads which
we played on as this was the best surface and being a hilly area we had the best of both worlds.
just remembered we had two option's for steering feet and rope. happy days;

I wonder what Sister Duffy at providence hospital thought about them all
I bet she had her own "Unique" name for them every time she sorted out the plaster of Paris
