Kill marine life - only 5p a go.

Why not ban the supermarkets from supplying any?

Why is it only shops with more than 250 staff?

I haven't looked but apparently there are quite a few exceptions and let-outs.

Aha. Here is the very first line:

"You must charge at least 5p for single-use carrier bags in England from 5 October 2015 if you’re a large retailer."

Does that mean we get the 5p back if we use them the next time we shop?

It always stuck me as odd when wrapping a holdall or rucksack or similar in a plastic bag at the checkout

Good heavens!
The first thing I thought when I read this was 'this has been written by a professional pen pusher.'
The second thing I thought was 'just how much is it going to cost to administer this lot of bullshit?'
And then, 'who's going to pay for it?'
Of course, it will come out of our taxes, won't it?

In all of the time I've known you, on here and elsewhere, this is the first time I've seen you use an expletive!

Well, all I can say is you haven't been f*cking looking!

What a complete load of b*llocks that is (a better expletive than JBR's). As if anyone would be able to work that out at a check out. it's bad enough waiting for the Dorises to find their coupons.

I wonder how many meetings it took to come up with it.
