I note Tesco have used this as an excuse to cease awarding green clubcard points.

This means that a very large proportion of their customers will lose out, either through reduced loyalty points or additional bag charges.

Tesco carrier bags fail on both being a bag and being able to carry anything other than a sandwich.

popped into the sainsburys local on way home and the cashiers were getting violently territorial about their dwindling stock of free bags.

Ashamed to say that the bag for life that i was sure was in my bag, wasn't, but I'll make sure it is from now on.

Always use my own canvas bag when I do a weekly shop. Been using it for several years now and it's still like new, and not a scrapping of nasty plastic to be seen!

Just checked our stocks of plastic shop advertisement bags and I have stockpiled hundreds of used ones away in the cellar. These are what we use for the small bin, so should last a long while yet. Good to get two uses out of them. Also checked the canvas/linen ones that the Co-Op gave away a few years back and we've got a dozen of those brilliant things. Very easy to put a couple in a jean back pocket, if needs be.

Saying that, when I go down the town I nearly always take a 35 litre daysack and use that if I have to!

Scary how realistic that is. People can be such bell ends over such petulant little things.

I probably is isn't it.

This is one of the few places where, at 44, I'm one of the kids.

You wish Grandad! I'm a sprightly 37 and still got another 963 years in me. I've always maintained I'd live to be 1000 years of age, and no, I'm not Hitler's 3rd Reich!

Cheers
