Here in Wales, if you have a Tesco grocery delivery you have the option to have it with or without bags. With bags there is a flat charge of 35p which they base on 7 being the average number of bags per delivery, though usually mine comes with at least 12 bags. Which then get reused as rubbish bags. |

Rollo being as this island has a strict sabbath observance and therefore no shops are open carrying a "carry out" wouldn't be a problem! |

I don´t have a problem paying for carrier bags, it makes people think before they discard them in the street. Although I normally take my own bag but the few times I´ve needed to buy I just use them later as pedal bin liners. A friend of mine buys just the carrier bags as they work out cheaper (they say) then liners, another friend uses them as poo bags. Mind they have a larger dog than my 2 combined. |

Been so used to it here in Wales and I have always got a fold up bag with me. |

Last few deliveries from Tesco the veg have come in brown paper bags as a trial, perhaps they will switch to them for home deliveries. |

My son likes the north London supermarkets at some apparently well known time ( but not to me ) when he goes looking for his crumpets. I don't think he means something for tea. Maybe Dermot who is a supermarket expert can enlighten me. |

I like Supermarkets at about 6am when there are more employees present than customers. |

In the good old days you sent the housekeeper down to the shops where she ( or he if you were grand enough to run to a butler ) would order everything necessary which would be delivered by a small van or possibly an errand boy on a push bike. At the end of the month the accounts would be settled by cheque, popped in the post and that was that. No mucking about in those cathedrals to wasted time aka supermarkets. |

Not having been able to find anything that fits in M&S I was not aware that they had a no bag policy unless you shelled out for one. Or maybe I am getting a bit deaf. |

Turtle (string) bags are really good and hold a surprising amount. Small enough to squash inside a handbag. |

Me too, Joy. Now we will have to buy bin liners. The new charge in Scotland doesn't just apply to plastic bags but to paper carriers as well. |

I recycle my carriers as waste bin liners :-D :-D |

Has anyone ever been charged with shop-lifting plastic bags? |
