Threw said string bag to the bottom of the bag I carry most days. Went out to visit a client. On route home thought... ooh I'll just pop into Sainsburys. Got extra nectar points for using my own bag. Got lots of compliments about it as well.

So all in all... I'm good for the environment today

see
youll be coem all evangelical abotu it
adn it dosnt hurt your hands either does it

did ladies ask you whence it cameth

They did and I told them. In fact I'm thinking of getting myself a couple of spares to pop in my other bags

Only black and sludge coloured in our M&S. Will look out for the hot pink ones as they are far nicer.

( btw Debenhams have just started charing 5p for carrier bags - M&S have been charging for ages) - another reason to get one of these.

Thanks for that kind offer Cod - if that last post was to me. I am going to try our bigger Marks later in the week but may get back to you if not in luck.

It's really strong isn't it? I carried [a watermelon] 6pts milk and a bottle of wine (along with cereal, sausages and flour). Wonderful! Love it! Love Cod!

I have an old string bag that is dying and death from over use.

The scholl hols started here yesterday and there is no way on earth I am taken them all shopping.

Which kind MNer will buy one for me so I can let my old bad die in peace.

I will paypal thecost etc.

lol! The watermelon was an automatic after the words "I carried a..."

Mine is lime green, only colour there when I got it, & I use it like a handbag (lacking coat pockets in the summer) - it's great except when I put my keys in it

ah

they make me think of franny

don't ask me why

I looked but didn't see any - however I did buy a lime green pouch bag £3.50, long handles, folds up small - does that count?

please don't make me take 4 un-cooperative boys to the shops.

Shall I beg?

ok ladies i'll ask..

lth, would yoyu like me to send you one? colour?

lime green sounds teh best option I think.

I won't be able to force ask the boys to carry a pink one.

Dunno about the M&S ones, but I've used Turtle string bags for ages. I just have a plain string-coloured one, but they do a really wide range of colours and you get them with long or short handles or one that comes in its own little pocket thing - and you can get them mail order. No, I'm not associated with the company at all - in fact I only came across them because they sell through an organic gardening products catalogue..

Yes it's useful
yes it's nice
yes it's moral
but it's a PAIN when the fast-turnover-check-out people INSIST on bagging things (despite me begging NO I'll do it NO I'll do it PLEASE leave it to me) & they snag all the packages on the strings & crash the stuff in upside down & smashed up & I have to hasslingly rescue & repack it all myself with a fast-turnover-check-out-queue building & huffing

I have suddenly realised - they must be on commission on slithery carrier bags (5p each this week, £1,000 next), & therefore you are being punished for not being an extra subtle profit centre
