They're starting it over here in the Land of My Fathers soon.
I have no problem with paying an extra couple of pence for a bag but as usual they have made it overly complicated so it will just fu<k things up.

There are potential areas of confusion. For example, if you pick up prescription medication at a chemist then you won't have to pay for the bag as it's exempted.
But if you pay for a bottle of shampoo at the same time at the check out, then you will have to pay 5p.
Another exemption is unwrapped or partially unwrapped food.
So if you go to a fast food restaurant and order fries you won't have to pay for the bag but you will pay if you order a burger with the fries because the burger is fully wrapped.
An exemption only applies if exempted items are the only products in the bag.
