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.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
