1) wht about the companies that make plastic bags. What about the staff. Have they had to lay off staff due to this.

2) Many shops are making the 5p charge a farcical one. No matter hw small

There is only two snags over this ludicrous charge. And obsession on making money for the Government.
the bag is. You still get charged 5p.
I have seen customers at my local Tesco/ Asda walking out of shops with the shopping in the hands. And even baskets with tags on, to stop people taking them.

3) If l buy 60/70 quid's worth of goods in a store - why should l have to pay 5p for a bag to put them in.

Totally ridiculous
I take my carrier bags.
