I cannot find a link to this.

Regarding the 5p charge on plastic bags. I hear today that the charge of 5p charge is illegal - has anyone else heard of that

AND NO THIS IS NOT A GO AT THE TORIES. Its the most ludicrous charge going. I went into Ryman's today and was going to be charge for a small bag for two Biros.

Also found out that IF the bag has a logo - ie TESCO on the bag its classed as ADVERTISING and therefore a charge should not be made

I bet that if a shop is losing customers because of it, we already have customers taking home baskets or trollies home they will be arrested for theft. I can see shops challenging this in a court of law
