I think you are the one with the negative attitude, by wanting to ban anything that you personally disagree with.  I'm quite happy for plastic to be used appropriately.

I have looked around my home and I am astonished at the ammount of plastic there is but I am not taking such a negative attitude as burneside. There will always be plenty around that takes such negative attitudes, and wait for others to do something about it. I wish I could go on some of those demonstrations, but my health will no longer allow it and who knows, my health might end it all before I ...

Take a good look around your home, you'll find most things have plastic in them somewhere.  Feel free to live a 19th century lifestyle if you wish, just don't expect the rest of us to do so too.

Someone has picked up a typo error NATURALIST and not NATURIST, how sad when just the mention of David Attenborough should have told readers it was a typo error. Perhaps I should have mentioned Darwin and many others.

@majorp So , what have nudists got to do with it? Naturist. A person who practices nudity for reasons of health or religion

So wondering what is your proposed route for Dawlish Parkway and the cost, taking into consideration high speed trains need gradient's of less than 4% and freight trains below 1.5%. My second question is when this new line is built who will maintain the sea wall that protects Dawlish TDC or DCC taking into consideration that it takes DCC three months to fill a pot hole and TDC tell us they are ...
