The perfect Christmas present doesn’t exis....
"A must-have for anyone with a passion for shopping carts and a love of the great outdoors.In The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America author Julian Montague has created an elaborate classification system of abandoned shopping carts, accompanied by photographic documentation of actual stray cart sightings.
These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you.
Working in the naturalist’s tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted.
The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found."

Just took the dog for a walk and there was 2 kookaburras perched on a tree making the most wonderful sounds.
I am writing the definitive guide to abandoned laughing gas canisters, with special reference to suburban street gutters.

He said they were in a tree so that rules out Stockport.
If he'd said sat coughing on an upturned Tesco trolley Stockport may well be the answer.
