    relates to plastic bags with handles only...


    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/carrier-bag-charges-retailers-responsibilities


    Bags you charge for

    A bag is considered as such if it has an opening and isn’t sealed. You must charge at least 5p a bag for carrier bags that are all of the following:
    • unused - it’s new and hasn’t been used previously for sold goods to be taken away or delivered
    • plastic
    • with handles
    • 70 microns thick or less

    Nooooooooooooo savvy will be going in with a micrometer. :p

    Spot on again. I would add ignorance and embarrassment at the disability as well, as not knowing what to say.

    :T:T my friends daughter was born with a very obvious disability but knowing the daughter, it doesn't stop her. At. All :T:T

    And I find it's the adults who stare, point and make snidey comments :mad: the kids are like "yeah whatever". The number of times I've wanted to land someone in the face for their rudeness....

    I guess the other question I have that's centered around the bags debate is....
    once I have spent 5p or whatever on a bag will it still take me forever to open it because its stuck together or will the assistant kindly do that for me rather than watch me struggle as I do at present?..or comment along the lines that "the're difficult to open arn't they,you see theres a knack to it"

    In taking my own bag...at least I am confident I can open it!

    This brand stuff has got me thinking. Pre-MSE I was a proper brand snob and wouldn't even go in the car park of places like Aldi or lidl let alone go in one :eek:

    Now, I prefer lidl over Aldi (you get a better class of dosser in lidl :p :rotfl: )

    Brand wise, I still prefer the bigger brands but at an MSE price :cool: the one I won't change is diet coke. Anything else is just inferior.

    I still won't do my weekly shop in either of the budget supermarkets but I do get quite a bit of stuff from them now :)
