Orinje? I think you may already have a 'weird and wonderful lurgy'. Sue may have made a wise decision.

Re: Expensive plastic bags
 

Yes...I agree with that. Why does cucumber have to be shrink wrapped in plastic?.
And we are encouraged not to use carrier bags(in Wales you are charged 5pence for every carrier bag you use) but our waste goes to the tip in plastic bags........they are not going to degrade very quickly are they?

I think it has something to do with birth control:confused:

Re: Expensive plastic bags
 

and about pawing the meat and veg........there was no plastic wrapping on anything when I grew up(the butcher sometimes had a fag hanging from the corner of his gob as he sliced the liver - with ash half an inch long)......we didn't come to much harm back then....anyway what is wrong with washing the veggies.......I peel most of mine anyway.

Re: Expensive plastic bags
 

Eh? well....I know we used phallic shaped fruit and veg to show the application of condoms(when I was a nurse, that is), but I wouldn't like to be using the shrink wrap as birth control...it frequently has very rough seams....and holes too:eek:.

Kinda like a french tickler then?;)

My on-line grocer - Ocado, takes back the plastic carrier bags and recycles them.

Re: Expensive plastic bags
 

The worst for packaging ripoff is yet to come Easter eggs check the price of a bar of choc and check the same weight for easter egg then you will realise how much your paying for packaging :D

Re: Expensive plastic bags
 

I don't buy Easter Eggs.......well not the big ones anyway. I buy the tinlids some other gift and they get either a bag of mini eggs or a Cadbury's Creme Egg...and they seem to have shrunk in the wash too!

Glad to didn't quantify the veg Dave:D
