Anyway you'd need a bag the size of a coal-man's sack to carry your weekly 'shop' these days!

And don't get me started on the 'serve yerself' checkouts (I refuse to use 'em),
they'll soon have us unloading the lorries and stacking the bloody shelves next.
Couldn't agree more.
We had a great corner shop where we lived. I rememebr everything was bought fresh. No sell by dates etc.
I do rememebr my mum getting one of those "string" type bags, seemed you could fit a horse in it ! never lasted long though, she always went back to the tried and tested "Shopping Bag"

Meant to say... well they've got us taking our bins to the kerb edge, so that may well be next
