Yep, as you say, a lot of people know to take them when going shopping.

I'm quite sure everyone would like them to be free, not really sure what you point is.

Re: Controversial bag charge a success as shoppers will use 6 billion fewer plastic b
Never been able to work out what happens if you have no bags with a shopping delivery. Must be a bit of a palaver unloading shopping item by item, rather than bagful by bagful. Had a delivery recently(first in a couple of years) and with bags it was simpler to unload a bags with several items in them. The delivery guy was behind with his schedule as it was.

It's so much better without all those discarded plastic bags blowing around everywhere. If you bought a newspaper, they'd put it in a bag; if you bought a DVD, it was put in a bag; if you bought a bag, it was put in a bag. Utter nonsense.

Top of the class yet again for all the wrong reasons.

Good grief more insults as we are doing rather well on this thread as soon you will overtake somebody else on here and go to the top of the class.

Some people can turn a relatively innocuous topic into an argument just for the sake of it.

I load my shopping into my trolley and transfer it to the boot of my car, no plastic bag need.

'My point' is that the introduction of the charge has drastically reduced the amount of unnecessary plastic waste in our immediate environment. So, no, not everyone would like them to be free.

To be honest, I was annoyed at the bag charges when they first came in, but I have to admit that I find the bags for life much easier.
I'll give the Green brigade that one.

I carry mine in the boot of my car, or if I'm going to a supermarket in town on the bus, I take a couple with me.
It's just a case of getting in the habit in the end.
