Nice slow burn and several goodly chuckles.

He started his business a week ago after a shopping trip to the supermarket.</p> <p> ‘Before I had even started my main food shopping I got the deal that changed my life’ 24 year old Mark Taylor told us. ‘For just £1 I managed to purchase a shopping trolley. After slotting in my pound coin to complete the transaction, it occurred to me it must be worth more than a quid. A quick trip to the scrap yard saw me sell it £20.’</p> <p> Not to miss a business opportunity, Mr Taylor reinvested the £20 and bought 20 more trolleys. Selling these on saw him net £400 for a day’s work. After the first day trading, things were so good he had to take on three employees to help him manage the work load.</p> <p> Now he has got to his first million, Mr Taylor explained he is thinking about changing his business plan. ‘Although this approach has done me well, I realised you can sell shopping trolleys to supermarkets for £150. Which is lucky, because I hear locally there is a shortage.’ </p> <p>When asked if he could cope with the increase in supermarkets and demand that places on his business he just smirked and said ‘every lidl helps' </p>
