Plastic bags & supermarkets

"OP you grumpy 'ol sod"

Thats the nicest thing anyone has said to me for years.

Our local shed has half an alley devoted to Polish products, but not noticed any pretty Polish girls on the checkouts.

Although to be fair its not really the sort of environment for seduction, even in ones mind, which is as far as I am likely to get with SWMBO's eagle eye on me.

Yes, local Asda has a 'Polish' section too. Two resturants and a Polish convenience store within a very short distance of my berth. Re: the topic, the local council have just announced a proposed total ban on all plastic bags from the town's supermarkets by the summer.

Oh blimey, what can I use for rubbish on the boat now? I have always used old supermarket polly bags for all my junk. They fill in about a day, then I tie them off & doss 'em in the cockpit locker until I get back into harbour. Then I take armfulls off to the car park skip.

A bin bag would block the companionway. Oh, dear, Oh dear.
