        FFS, I use old carrier bags to line my bins at home to save buying bin liners.

        Now they ban carrier bags, I'll just have to buy bin liners.

        Where's the saving?

              We have this in Ireland - It's very inconvenient if you are hungover and need a plastic bag to be into.... the paper ones disintegrate...

                Because 99.9% of people don't do that.

                  There's a stroppy woman at the Tesco Express near work who never wants to give me a bag, and then when I ask for one she says "you will reuse it won't you".

                  I just want a bag because I've got more stuff that I can carry in my hands. It can be made from squirrels for all I care.
