Crikey.. I'm a middle aged greying man and dress fashionably. I often take my own shopping bag to the coop and use it as I shop rather than use the basket (if I only need a few things usually wine, beer ,chorizo and chocolate). It's an orange Tate Gallery bag though so I'm not the culprit in this story. I think if an oddball busy-body asked me not to do this I'd probably tell them where to go.
