Re: The 5p bag charges...
If I go shopping on foot, I wear a backpack. If I take the car, there are always rugged bags in the boot. And I wash them from time to time too in case of contamination. And so it has been since many years before the bag charge (which I've never paid).
But since the charge started, I have seen more people buying rolls of single-use bags as bin-liners. So have we reduced plastic bag use, or just moved the costs to consumers instead of supermarkets?
