You'd have thought that it would be hard to find anyone who would disagree with this but apparently not. Still, it's a brilliant idea and will solve part of the waste problem. About time.

SergioTacchiniGuy Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Another non football related shite post from Oaksoft. I heard that hes going to be starring in the sequel to the Nicholas Cage film called Wind Talkers and that its going to be called Shite Talkers.

pozbaird Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I haven't looked at this in detail, so maybe someone could fill me in. This 5p per' bag charge - are they talking about supermarket food shopping, where you have a trolley full of stuff and put it into bags at the checkout... ...or does it apply to all plastic bags? Say you go into the Saints shop and buy a golf shirt from awp, or you go into Argos and buy a toaster. Does awp or Argos charge you 5p for the one bag you actually need to get your item home clean and safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go in and spend £45 on a golf shirt from awp, I want it handed to me in a bag, and I don't want to be paying for the bloody thing as well as the shirt. In this day and age, why aren't all bags of this nature bio-degradable anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) You'd have a point if this wasn't the general nonsense forum - he's entitled to post his non-football stuff in here, it's kind of it's reason for being. And when I say "kind of" I mean sole.

But unless it's bio-degradable, you have to pay your five or six pence irrespective of what you buy. Obviously if you bring your own bag there is no problem.

But unless it's bio-degradable, you have to pay your five or six pence irrespective of what you buy. Obviously if you bring your own bag there is no problem. This kind of leads back to my initial post - I have an old sports bag in the boot of the car which contains a pile of re-useable bags that I take into Tesco, Asda or wherever when I go to do my shopping. However, when I go into Glasgow or Braehead or wherever, to buy clothes, CDs, trainers... I don't head into town clutching a handful of plastic bags - and I don't see anyone else doing so either - unlike at Tesco for the food shopping. Hence my initial query. If I'm in town, I expect HMV to put my purchase in a wee bag, I expect Ralph Slater to put my shirts in a plastic bag, and I expect JD Sports to put my trainers in a plastic bag. ...and I don't want them to charge me for the bag either. Supermarkets? I get it - hundreds of shoppers with packed trollies = lots of flimsy bags. I hope this new scheme doesn't extend to non-food shopping, that's all.
