Quite a few shops charge for bags already here. I don't mind so long as they are not really thin plastic ones that rip and cut your hands

Get decent governments on the planet and there would be no need for charity, robbing fat bast^rds rob the shit out of us then spend it on themselves, when they sort it it out there would be no need for charity, I find it hard to give, but if you can get a job as a charity cause director on £60 to a £100 grand a year, you must look as if you care,,, Fu#k Off...The Lone Ranger wrote:nah, proceeds have to go to charities...
Example, until this year when money got really tight Manchester Council supported "Gay Pride", a bunch of poofs and lesbos wanting a good time, I've no prob with that, BUT WHY THE FECK SHOULD I PAY FOR IT...
End off..............................

Going back on topic, I have to say that since the charge came in to Ireland EIGHT (8) years ago, it has been a huge success. Our litter problem has been reduced considerably ( at least 50%)

Open fires, Cheap free heating, less rubbish to get rid of, And the greatest idea of all - no bags at the tills, take your own Roy Cropper style bags, if you dont you struggle to carry all the tins etc you just bought, I believe you will only forget once,
