Dear Editor, Will October 1st,Saturday, go down as a memorable turning point date in world history? Give over... I have had more memorable missed appointments (but certainly not medical ones) which never made the annals of history let alone consumer law. It is now five pence per plastic carrier bag in a futile attempt to stop the amount of discarded waste ones causing unsightly ,unnecessary rubbish around our countryside and landfills. Shame on those shops who have been charging for them ,plastic carriers, long before the legal date of commencement.of October 1st. The real solution should have been a 'total' ban then shoppers would soon learn to take a bag to put their shopping in...it is not rocket science just common sense.Happy (shopping) Days!It's in the bag.......
