The one 8,551 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I normally grab every poly bag I can as I pop a rabbit in them before freezing them and now parliament wants 5pence for every bag you use to help the environment as they take a hundred years to disintegrate fair enough so I bought a thousand for eighteen quid , but McDonald's are jumping on the band wagon a charing 5pence for there paper bag ? It's never going to take paper long to disintegrate and they can be recycled I feel machetes are chancing there luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 It`s a tax for pollution, a paper bag vanishes in no time, so maccy`d`s is just chancing there mitt to make a bit extra Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hutch6 550 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 We need to start asking supermarkets where they keep the milk and pop in glass bottles so we can bring them back for sterilization and re-use once the contents have been drunk? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Here in Eire we're being charged 22p for a plastic bag this few years and I've no problem with it. You come home from the shop and put the bag in a drawer etc. and next time your going to the shop you bring it with you. You don't see as many plastic bags blowing around as you used too. Mind you, McD seem to be taking the piss a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
