Our household vigorously recycle. Also we never trow trash on the street. We already used "bags for life" or reusable bags before the 5p charge.
Having a bunch of spare bags in the boot of the car or in the shopping trolley is not a hassle.
Having to store and wash all the plastic bottles and drag them to the store, then wast time returning them there is going to be a major hassle, not worth the 5p per bottle. So essentially a tax/surcharge call it whatever you want.
Also I thought the plastic bottles that go in the "regular" bin go to regulated dump sites, how on earth do they end up in the Ocean? I don't deny the fact that the ocean is full of plastic, but I always thought it's coming from 3rd world countries that don't care.
