Health & safety, being blamed again, when will firms / people ever learn ??

Order the food and then walk out without paying if they charge you for a bag.

 

I tried that but I'd been for a drink first and got mixed up, I paid and ran out before the food came,

 

Can see some merit in it having seen inside many homes
There are some customers that should pass through a sterilizing booth before allowed into a food outlet,come to think of it in some cases might be an idea if the sterilizing extended to their reproduction bits!

 

know what you mean teabreak, I've been in some hovels in my time , the worse one ever was,I went in a house refurb for the council, the whole house was full of dog muck and stunk to high heaven, I walked out and told the projects manager I'm not working in there, he said somebodies got to do it and there's no other work for today, so I walked off the contract,

 

Tom was this down as you left.

 

there ought to have been Phil, it was rude to go out on the street without wiping my feet first but I had to hurry before I chucked up

 

Been there Tom, and stripped off in the garden to spray my clothes with flea killer, just love it when you try to push a cooker back and your feet slide away instead

 

I reckon the 5p charge is good, we've had it in Wales for a while now, 5p, no matter what sort of bag, postcard, maccies, etc etc, most shops donate it to charity, and the amounts donated are quite good too, when I visit friends/relations in England they have a cupboard stuffed rammed full of carrier bags, as did I when I lived there, I ain't a tree hugger but it's got to be better surely?.

 

But if you aren't allowed to bring your own bag and must buy theirs it's not environmental but an extra charge.

 

Didn't charging people for bags backfire in Ireland, peeps stopped using them, but instead of that cutting down on the use of plastic bags, it increased because peeps then started buying under sink bin liners, etc, this resulted in more bags, as opposed to carrier bags being recycled via other uses.

 

In the grand scheme of things where do most carrier bags get used?, supermarkets etc, that's where the bring your own bags come into its own, just my take, but if anyone thinks carrier bags in abundance in cupboards, landfill etc is environmentally better, then heh ho.
