Everywhere else in the UK has had this for agesSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent. -
I went into Tescos yesterday morning and used the self-service tills and they seemed to have taken away all the bags for some reason. Maybe they were replacing them with new 5p ones. The software now asks slightly confusingly both how many of my own bags I'd used and how many I'd taken, thus wasting valuable extra seconds.
I take a reusable bag when I remember, and when I forget I use plastic bags. The 5p charge isn't going to change my behaviour either way. But it's probably a good thing.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Yes, the self service bag line of questioning rips my knickers.
There is no option for 'not using a bag', you have to say, 'not using my own' then 'used 0 bags'.Comment

Supermarket plastic bags are just an easy target that people have latched on to, but won't make the slightest difference to landfill volumes in the bigger scheme of things. E.g. a typical family shop say it's 8 carrier bags full. The actual volume of plastic in the 8 plastic bags is miniscule compared to the non-recyclable packaging of the shopping itself.
Personally I think it'd make a bigger impact if shoppers had the option of buying things like coffee, rice, pasta, serials, dried herbs etc. from bulk containers and just fill up paper bags to take home to put in their own containers.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

Couldn't agree more with your other point about bulk buy/container point. Packaging has got potty.Comment
