So now instead of using them to wrap my rubbish, I will have to buy bin bags and feed those into the environment instead! :-D |

Ah - retailers with 250 or more full time employees. So your independent corner shop is excluded. |

I've used my own shopping bags for years; got in the habit of it while living in Europe, where they've charged for bags for a long time. My bags go in the washing machine about once a month. |

Just think how much tax we pay on petrol and how little that helps the environment. Will a five pence tax on carrier bags really be any different? :-S |

At least one shop I noticed this week is donating the money to environmental charities. :-) |

you'll soon get used to it - we have here in Wales - at least the local Sainsbury car park no longer has trees festooned in carrier bags :-D |

Harrods have a nice box of 6 Luxury Christmas crackers for just £499.00, I'm going on Wednesday, and need some crackers, so when I buy them will see if they ask £499.05 at the till. |
