Ban on the use of plastic bags in the UK

[Pondlife]

Because 99.9% of people don't do that.

I do.

What I object to is the rest of the needless plastic packaging that accompanies everything you buy.

Our plastic recycling bin fills up way faster than the others (paper, glass).

reusable plastic string bag thingies are the answer

String bags are carp.

Anyway I've gotten so fed up of those thin bags from supermarkets filling my house and bin, I've taken to reusing thicker bags anyway.

Doesn't the sick leak through the holes?

All plastic bags have a small hole or two in them anyway, so if you don't use two they leak.

Much less than a paper bag.

What the hell

is wrong with these ninnies?

[Bagpuss]

FFS, I use old carrier bags to line my bins at home to save buying bin liners.

Now they ban carrier bags, I'll just have to buy bin liners.

Where's the saving?

Bizzare, that was my reaction on hearing this on Breakfast news.

So much control of peoples lives.

Every single thing you own or do is being watched, monitored, charged for and banned.

Maybe you are an uglier, less intelligent version of me?

A better answer is to do the shopping online. It's a shame though that they deliver it in 10 times as many plastic bags as I'd have used. You'd have thought they could just stick it all in a crate and empty that when they get to your house.
