Vacuum cleaner bags.

Today I emptied the vacuum cleaner. I took the paper bag out and spent 10 minutes pulling all the bits out the little hole. One neighbour thought this was hilarious, the other leaned over the fence and whispered 'You are supposed to throw those away dear'. I replied 'are you mad? Its only 3 years old'.

Anyone else re-use their disposable bags.
Regards
