Lot of trouble to go to when you can buy one for a quid at numerous
outlets.

What, a shopping trolley wheel?

No, a whole trolley of course .

You do know the difference between a shopping trolley, a supermarket
trolley don't you? ;-)

And since when has 'going to some trouble' stopped a good d-i-yer. ;-)

Can't you just get some old push chair wheels in the tradition of
using old pram wheels to make a "trolley "
, there is probably one fly tipped near you

I don't need to make a trolley, we already have one. However, we
regularly carry a very heavy load in ours and the plastic wheels
aren't likely to survive as long as the frame or bag. So, it seemed
logical to me to 'improve' the design so we aren't stranded half way
home with a bag full of stuff we can't lift, let alone carry! ;-(

My point is I'd rather make my own that are likely to be better , not
only because of how well they roll (so easier to pull home) but how
long they will last.

Fine, if you are getting enjoyment out of it,

Well, indirectly ... getting home in one piece ... with something you
have made yourself and improving the design to make it more robust and
better rolling is 'a good thing' that I think most might also enjoy?
;-)

wheels are fairly easy to obtain for near nowt though,

Once you find some (that fit the axle and are the right diameter so
the trolleys don't fall over when parked etc) please let me know. A
local supplier of such trolleys had to cannibalise new trolleys to
replace broken wheels under warranty. ;-(

a lot will become available in the next few weeks as kids begin to
break up their Christmas toys

See above.
