Re: 20p return
In scotland the 20p return on the empty Barr bottle is still alive and kicking, I used to collect 'emptys' with my mates when I was a youngster and when I go up there you still see little kids in the shops cashing them in for sweets - as expensive as it is to re-use glass bottles all those empty bottles that are returned to Barr's in glasgow must save them a good few quid each year - after all they have been doing it now for over 35 years - if there was nothing in it they would have stopped long ago.
