No good to me, I guiss if you're saving the enviroment by driving
around in a car it's OK. But there's no where on a bus I can leave
bags of that size I can just manage 3 ordinary carrier bags they fit
between my feet.

What's wrong with providing your own rather sturdier bag? I'd use a
rucksack, or there's the classic shopping trolley.


I use a rucksack as sometimes the bus fails to turn up so it's then 2
miles home - not fun with carrier bags. There's sometimes a comment when
I occasionally reuse a C&A bag - from people old enough to have shopped
there.

That was the colour blindness test bag?

It does seem to be white and muddy grey.

Local Tesco has put the bag recycling trolley outside the
entrance to the shop! Checkout operators are not happy about bag
charging as they get the abuse. I don't understand why paper bags were
included. They seem strong enough in the USA, where double plastic bags
are used for a gallon of milk purchase, but IME only one paper bag is
adquately strong for 2 gallons.
