“Imagine… … going to the supermarket with a toddler in a buggy, and no car, and trying to buy your weekly shop…You wait for a bus, but there is no space for the buggy on board. Two or three buses pass. You pay over £3 which is a significant portion of your weekly money…
You struggle around the supermarket with your buggy and trolley – conscious of the fact that whatever you buy has to fit in your budget and you have to carry it all home. You add up everything you buy, to ensure you won’t be embarrassed at the till – it has to be perfectly calculated. You pack your shopping - there is only a small space underneath the buggy – buy a chicken and some washing powder and that space is gone. The rest has to be balanced precariously on the handlebars.
