Those were the days when they had proper bags. None of this doubling up nonsense.

Aye, can't beat the old non-biodegradable ones...ideal for storing my flares and Paisley shirts in.

Also reminds me of the time when I did have a slight accident with a brown paper carrier bag, years ago as a poverty-stricken young man.
It broke, and the jar of coffee I had just purchased from the shop round the corner was shattered, it's contents spilt across the pavement.
I was mortified, as coffee was probably the most expensive item I ever bought, so quickly nipped off to my bedsit for my dustpan and brush.

years ago everything was in brown paper bags and white ones too, and remember when old newspapers was used too in shops for wrapping the goods in, cant use these new bags for the trick of throwing the imaginary stone in the air and catching it in the old paper bag, those where the days

Very true Steve.

I was an assistant pet shop/provender merchants manager for the first 2 years of my working life, so became a bit of an expert at packing stuff into various sized paper bags, as well as knowing how to undo with one deft move those sewn-up paper sacks that bulk animal feed comes in.

Some places seem to dish out paper bags again now.....instead of plastic.

[stevewool]

the usa gives paper bags with everything

[grahamw48]

Surely more environmentally friendly ?

I used them in my own shop, but certainly a lot dearer than plastic ones.

Well, wether we love them or hate them, Tesco certainly gets some coverage on this forum....

i not keen on the shop, so i will call it farmfoods or aldi from now on

Aren't we all safety officers these days.! I believe, as an individual, one can go through the civil courts, alternatively.

I think you are getting confused with Personal Injury Claims, which are a different matter and are able to be pursued by individuals
