Or are they, men’s handbags?
My parents and other family members called them "message bag" so we kids went for the messages. It was a Scottish thing. Now we would call them shopping bags.

Thanks Omah, I have just seen the messenger bags now. They look like airway staff bags?

No, 'fannybags' are what the Americans call 'bumbags' - Yanks sit on their 'fannies' .....

Re: Do You Belong To The Backpack Brigade?

I have a backpack for shopping. It makes life so much easier and it isn't sore on the back at all. Carrying plastic bags in each hand is much more effort, I find.

Sorry Omah, l had to change my reply as l thought your first set of ‘googlings’ was in reply to my question about ‘messenger bags’.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Do You Belong To The Backpack Brigade?

No back packs for me, ever!! I have seen so many grown men with this back packs, seems like they think they are still in school! Hands free or not, if you don't hike or attend school....then, WHY??

These were around when I was in school, and I didn't ever want one then, or now. Even my kids didn't wear them.

They were thought to improve the posture of schoolchildren.


Backpacks, the real thing, that's for scouting and backpacking holidays, although seriously what's wrong with a real suitcase on wheels these days? Having backpacked across Europe twice it's a real pain finding anything in a backpack.
