Excess baggage: will the 5p charge finally kill the plastic bag? | Environment | The Guardian
From 05/10/15,as part of a 'Gov initiative'
,folk will be charged a extra 5p for a carrier bag at supermarkets etc.
Being a tight sod,and not buying a bag for life,I'm not happy paying for a bag to take my purchases home in.
It's not so much about cost, it's the principal of it.
Your not telling me them crap bags that most folk have to double up on (now costing 10p) cost 5p,do they?
If,like myself, you buy a trolley full of shopping at the supermarket, you obviously need bags to carry it home etc.....
....I for one don't expect to have to pay extra just to take my purchase(s) home that's all I'm saying
