From the BBC web site no less, so it must be true
Not sure about the rats but the seagull item might be right, they have beady little eyes so they must be viciousYes indeed... If we all believed the media, we'd believe that we are undated with super rats that are four foot long, and killer seagulls
This made us both roll about laughingGood God what is it with the English?
Us Welsh folk have had bag charges for years now. yes initially pissed off, I mean - it's a carrier bag we pay for that through our goods surely?
But here in God's own country, (yes Wales) it's generated £22 MILLION !!
And all for charity.
That's worth it.
But oh no, the shoppers and shops themselves in England, are crying out - there'll be mass confusion, people will lost tempers at the tills, people will be confused and don't know what to do..
Basically mass chaos throughout the country.
Confusion Over 'Complicated' Plastic Bag Law
Plastic bag charges in England: will there be 'chaos' at the shops?
it's not hard to digest my brethren - you shop, you need bags (as you left all your good ones at home tut) so you pay 5p for them.. Simples!
Now what REALLY pees me off, is the charge here in Wales is for plastic bags right?
So why is it, when you go to a McDonald's (rare here as we don't really believe in it) and they ask you when in the drive-thru if you want a bag for 5p. Great.. but these bags are recycled paper and available to BE recycled, so why do they charge when it's for plastic bags to increase recycling and reduce plastic waste/use.. Not PAPER bags that are 1, recycled and 2, can be recycled again.
What gives??
bastids!
Your thoughts guys? esp our friends across the water in England....
Scotland and NI have been doing this, like us too - for years.
Not you as wellWell apparently the english are very confused by this...Doh.. Its not hard is it, you pay 5p and you get a plastic bag..

You know living with a bi-polar person has calmed me down and made me more diplomatic. I used to get very defensive and would hot headedly defend my position with ill thought out remarks said in anger.This is true... Dealing with some people on here, brought that out...

I hear you...You know living with a bi-polar person has calmed me down and made me more diplomatic. I used to get very defensive and would hot headedly defend my position with ill thought out remarks said in anger.
I try to be more calm with responses now, shouting and bawling doesn't have any winners cos everyone feels like shite afterwards. Negativity breeds negativity.
Positivity is much better for diffusing a situation whilst still being able to get your point across.
Aren't they just! I don't get it either. They say it all goes to charity, I doubt ALL of it does.... it's just another way to skim from the top IMHO. xP.s I went to the local little Tescos yesterday for milk. I had no bags as it a last minute thought as I was driving past. The cashier told me that branch aren't selling 5p bags anymore, and I would have to buy a 10p bag for life.
Robbing Bastards!
The bag for life didn't even come with a lifetime guarantee. Whos lifetime is 'The Bag For Life' described for? A mayflies?

I hear you...
Shouting, ranting and being hot headed - does not get anyone anywhere.
Negativity breeds negativity - it certainly does and it spreads like wildfire. Best approach is always be positive regardless.
unless I've had one too many, then I can be blunter than James himself.
