If he hadn't moved really fast that little girl would have hit the floor head first, as she tried to get out to follow her mum.Mum thought it was funny ! I'm not sure she would have been so happy if her child had hit the concrete floor !
I'm never happy seeing them in body of trolley anyway if they have a seat then sit them safely in that I always think.

That is fair comment, Swimmy, although it can only apply to the little ones.
I dread being in the shops when the schools are turning out, and we get about 100 x 13-17 years olds all pile in together!
They are noisy, they push and shove and take over the store.
Having said that, I was once again unable to reach something high up yesterday in Asda, when a group of tall young lads came sauntering along.
I thought to myself - "shall I ask them to help, or not"?
I decided I would, and one black lad (who must have been getting on for 6ft) was a sweetie and reached down what I wanted so easily for me, complete with a charming smile.
So they are not all bad.
I admit I do find large numbers of them all together a little intimidating though, especially when they are being silly and noisy.

Re: Children in supermarkets
There is a secondary school not far from me and its best not to go out when they exit the school en masse! You have to dodge the skateboarders and the ones on their scooters but the most dangerous are those that ride their bikes on the path, you risk your life when three of them come at you at once!!Lots, (mostly girls!) light up their fags as soon as they are out of the school! Most of them are on their way to local shops where only a few are allowed in at one time!
