Why is it England has trouble with the bag charge?

The rest of us just got on with it.

Think this is a good idea.

Most people go in Tesco's to buy their meal deal.

Perhaps for once they are thinking ahead .Shock!!

3 items.

Put it in a plastic bag and it will be thrown down in the street as they get through the meal.

Paper one will be too, but at least they are a better biodegradable option than the plastic one.

But don't your Morrison's / Tesco bags carry branding?

Yes they do - so what, Morison's don't mind if I pack their stuff away in a Tesco bag. But if you object so much, fine buy an unbranded back - or a brand you do like.

What makes you think that? Costa is part of Whitbread plc. Whitbread coughed up £82.1m in CT in it's last financial year. Are you confusing Costa with Starbucks?

Maybe we're just not as easily led.

Maybe more people are concerned about the waste generated by carrier bags given out willy nilly, plus the enviromental implications(however much they are exaggerated they are)

While a healthy dose of scepticism is the order of the day in England. Yes, that seems quite possible.

Could be. The fact is I don't drink coffee, so have never been in these rip off shops.

I admit a gap in my knowledge.
