Come on England GET WITH THE PROGRAMME!!!
I simply can’t believe that recent press articles indicate that England (and the English?) still have a prehistoric attitude to the use and free issue of plastic bags.
We’ve been charged for them by our shopowners for years now, and yes, I originally thought it a cheek and another “stealth” or “green” tax but it isn’t!
The nominal charge ( ± 2p here, which apparently goes to plastic recycling initiatives) is enough to make most averse and resentful to buying them, so we take our own!
And what an improvement to the environment, almost overnight the unsightly discarded plastic bags disappeared from our roads, parks, neighbourhoods and of course the countryside.
Of course we haven’t totally eliminated our reliance on them, I actually had to buy one yesterday ((Grrrr!!!) My carboot supply had been exhausted without my knowledge)
