Im going to go into Tescos and grab a pile of bags, cos they still give em out for free and use those at Asda. Should be fun!

[ezee ryder]

That would be awesome

[tiz]

Don't forget the old 'tescos escheaper' joke too....

We were in ASDA yesterday and they were still giving out bags - maybe it's a store by store thing?

I don't quite understand the charging for bags thing. I mean i get the principle, that it's trying to get you to use your own bags, but 5p is hardly a deterrent. Sounds like some bright spark just clocked onto the idea of making more money from the customer, they can still give out the same number of placcy bags except now they make more money.

I don't know about the other shops but M&S give the 5p to charity:

All profits generated from the charge will go to environmental charity Groundwork and be used to create or improve ?greener living spaces? such as parks, play areas and gardens in neighbourhoods around the UK. It is expected that around 40 neighbourhoods will benefit in the next twelve months.

Just got back from the post office to see one of those google map cars parked about 20 yards from my house. I took some photos and the google man waved at me.

[Kieran76]

Here he is waving at me.
