Please remember that most people think that you posting is simply about buying handbags, however now we know there were a few hundred people queueing at the East Dulwich Sainsburys to buy one that's a different matter. Moved back.


Are they nice handbags and did you manage to get one?

Ah. I see.


At first it sounds a bit silly, but then I suppose if it encourages those who wouldn't otherwise have used a bag for life or avoided using too many placcy bags to start doing so then it's probably a good thing.


(Whether that's actually the case, though, I don't know...)

Am glad that Sainsbo's etc. are 'doing their bit' but I would much prefer that there be a tax put on placcy bags, as in Ireland. But the govt. won't do that as it thinks people are more put off by such a proposal than they are, say, its decision to invade a sovereign nation on the pretext that it had deadly weapons ready to fire off at us at any moment. My name's Ben Elton, etc...Nero

Er, what's your logic Jeremy?


Dub may use bin liners so he/she should have to use plastic bags from shops too?

The less plastic used, the better I'd have thought.


For the record, (self righteous mode)I use biodegradable bin liners and take my satchel to the shops.


We have cloth bags from SMBS and Ed's, maybe other traders could join in and get the green brownie points as well as free advertising.

Understood.


The thing that pains me about re-using plastic bags in this way, which I agree is recycling, is that the contents are sealed in a plastic sarcophagous that inhibites the potential breakdown of waste thus adding to landfill. Or thats what I think anyway, unless someone knows better?


Anyway, I'm straying off topic.


Whilst I'm here, if anyone buys a newspaper or single item and puts it in a plastic bag in front me, I apologise for bringing you to task in advance. I'm sure you have a very good reason :)

Yes, I no longer use bags if I can avoid, ie I have my gay bag on me and I'm just buying a CD or some tooth paste, but sometimes its unavoidable. I'd have no objection to my Sainsbury's bill going up by 50p if they used biodegradable ones.

Let's faces it it's absurdly pricey anyway!

    • PECKHAM PODCAST with the Mayor of Southwark is now available. This is the direct link to the podcast:  
    • Had this problem a few years back.  I can hear high-pitched sounds easily.  I can't find my original post, but it was likely a faulty boiler cycling on and off as they do. It stopped not long after I posted!  Quick search on here pulled up lots of posts about similar.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/search/?q=boiler noise&quick=1
    • Do you think this is an illegal eviction and that the documents are not in order? You can get advice from Citizen's Advice or Shelter as well.  There is also a lot of advice on line - i.e. what the documents need to include for the landlord to evict the tenant.
    • Hello all, I am urgently looking for a solicitor who works in housing. I'd like to help my neighbours who have been waiting for a council flat for seven years. The council has forced them to rent privately and now the agency has send the eviction letter without any explanation. When they arrived in the UK they stayed in a flat for three months until they got evicted because the landlord wanted to sell. So this is the second time in seven years they have to find something else. They are a couple with two children. If you have recommendations for a good solicitor I'd be very grateful. They are very worried and don't speak English well enough to defend themselves. Thanks for your help!
