Monday grumble.

I've dug out yet another stash of stuff (cable ties this time) and the
plastic carrier bag is self destructing as do most bags of a certain age.

I can understand that this was seen as a good idea at one time because
plastic bags in the countryside and in landfill would crumble away in time
instead of being there "forever".

However it is a royal pain in the arse when your stock of "useful
sometimes" carefully stored in carrier bags (reuse instead of rubbish) are
suddenly found to be scattered everywhere because the bag has
disintegrated (as designed).

Further 20/20 hindsight suggests that with the major environmental issue
now being micro plastics, disintegrating carrier bags are making the
environment worse not better.

Most envirobollox is - er ********.

The world is fairly clean and healthy in the UK, but they have to find
something to tax you for and to keep the charities going.,

Grump.

Now back to tidying up the mess and rehoming my stash of cable ties.
I may even (eventually) get round to using a couple of cable ties which is
what I set out to do some time ago.

I invested in Raaco cabinets for most small things.
