I?ve just been charged 10p for a carrier bag in Tescos. I asked whether they had any 5p bags but I was told it was the law now they were only able to sell the 10p bags. Is this in fact correct? Whilst this was proposed last year, I can?t see any confirmation that it is law yet. I have no objection to paying the 10p, my objection is that retailers are quoting a law that doesn?t exist.

Could you not just carry your sandwich in the packet in your hand? Needed a bag? M&S sandwiches come boxed/sealed don't they?


ETA: Think I get it now - re read and you didn't actually want a bag. Stand down...

I like the net bags (except for things which may fall through the holes!)


They are light and easy to carry as they take up virtually no room, but expand to hold a lot.


I used to use those nylon (?) ones which fold up into a tiny bag. Until the day I put keys in them, and the keys made a hole in the bag and dropped out through the hole. Somewhere in Penge :))


Unluckily they were somebody else's keys. Luckily they didn't have any identifying features. Ooops.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
