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. 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.
