We never had reusable plastic bags in my younger days, we had a shopping bags that mother made from old worn out clothes-they were unique and did not advertise for free for anyone. I don't buy plastic bags now, I use bags that have been disgarded by someone else - it costs nothing. The death of any high st is self inflicted. Shop keepers complained about parking in the streets. Local authorities ...
burnside, if you do not pay the deposit and it could be as much as 22p a bottle, then you will not be able to purchase the goods that you require. Simple really. No deposit = no goods= no plastic that you can throw away.
Just a thought!! If people still put cans and bottles in the bins for collection, will it breed a new type of person who will go along and empty the bins before the bin collection people get there. Could be a lucrative business.
On my way to Newton Abbot this morning, I noticed hundreds of boxes full up with bottles and cans of all descriptions ready for the bin men to pick up. Will that be a thing of the past or will people still be throwing money away by leaving boxes still full withwith bottles and cans. I wonder what will happen.

The railings on the other side are bog standard, why could they not use those on the damaged side even if it is of a temporary nature?
Calamari, You are so, so wrong again. I have a blue badge and I have never found it difficult getting in and out of my car that is parked in a purposely made disable bay. Just drive into one and see what you think and then you may think I have no venemous tounge, but you might like to look at your own.
What I have done in situations such as this. Let the passengers out before you go into the parking space, then keep your vehicle as tight as you possibly can to the left hand white line. And do things in reverse when you wish to leave. I have had moans about those to my left, but as long as I am within the white lines there is little they can do other than bash your vehicle about a bit and I ...
