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!

Apple thats right and you are right,that lady from moseby Devon the town in question has set an example for us all to follow,i see more people using their own bags,and bringing bags.Watch this space the cloth bag is the first step on the ladder

plasticbagfree.com talks about the implication of plastic bags and really drums in why we need to go plasticbag free.

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.

    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
