The whole straw from his whole nose. The group were just tourists, when they first started to pull it out, I don't think they realised what it was or how deep it went. It took a while to shift it, it must have gone all the way down his throat.

Have you all come to terms with it yet? Or has all been too much for you?

I heard a staff member in the coop today saying to customer that he'd suggested to the management that they should foot the bill for the bags to keep the customers happy.
They could start a pot fund for their next CEO.

Bit ironic when supermarkets tell us how they're reducing packaging and they're actually increasing it all the time.
Ive worked in the fruit packing industry for 15 years. Back then 50% was packed into a simple net with one wineglass label. Over the years theyve come up (rather the packaging industry has...and the supermarkets have galloped along with it) with ever more plastic packaging until now, M&S are probably going to move over to a heavy plastic bag with a net window...looks lovely, but non of which is recycleable, is far more expensive to manufacture, takes far more electric and compressed air to form, far more expensive to transport, ever more expensive machinery to form it...and we suspect...not one end buyer gives a monkeys about the end pack, only whats in it.
Maybe tomorrow I'll weigh one empty pack...I suspect it probably weighs the same as at least 5 carrier bags...all to hold 6 clementines.

I too noticed Tesco carrier bags are made of more robust stuff now you have to pay a shilling for them. What a time to be alive!From what I've seen the tesco 5p ones are of a higher quality than the free ones were...no more poky out cucumbers

I was trying so hard to steer it towards "all English are stupid" as well, but failed. Oh well.
