We've got a cheese block / smbs one, a william rose, a sainsbury's hessian type, one from dulwich going green and a lovely one from bobees saris which has cane handles. My favourite is William Rose - big enough to get some shopping in, long handles, slightly padded for minimal shoulder dig. Mr BN swears by the cane handled one, though I much prefer something to go over the shoulder in order to maximise grocery heft.


Glad I picked up this thread again. I saw the score-card in SMBS but was bemused as there were no bags or pics (as far as I could see) to choose from. Mystery solved.

It seems odd to me that you're letting kids design the ED logo, which is exactly the sort of comment levelled at the new Olympic logo.


It's a great idea to get kids involved in designing the picture on the bag but surely a logo, that can be used again and again for a variety of uses, needs a little more consideration?


Something involving jagged lines and acts of oral pleasure perhaps?

I also read about the village that completely went plastic bag free. I think the initiative came from a marine biologist who had been studying the effect of plastic bags in the ocean. The local shop keepers were all in agreement to go ahead with the scheme and started using paper or cloth bags. This is something that would be possible in ED I think. I have started saying no when offered plastic bags in shops. In Pret the other day when I refused a bag they gave me a small choc brownie!

Why not just use baskets? People have used them to carry things in for millennia and they are perfectly fit for purpose. They are what people used before we had plastic bags. They are made out of natural materials and will last a lifetime.


Cloth bags are just another disposable product just with a slightly longer lifespan than plastic ones.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
