I am sure that was a most satisfying career. Well done.

Use a shopping bag or a bag on wheels and buy a pack of bags from eBay for loose veg and the like.
Sorted.

I already have to buy packs of black sacks because the council will only take non-recycling if it is in a black sack. some items have to be double wrapped in a carrier bag of all things.
I am all for cutting back on plastic but why should the supermarket profit from it?

It will also have to see huge changes to how races are viewed and that will be a barrel of laughs as sacred cows are culled much to the horror of people who thought that they were immortal ---
