Yep. PITA. They're not designed for blokes, you see. Shopping isn't a bloke's job [size=8]unless it's for power tools and beer[/size].

absolutely. i turned 30 recently and ever since i can't manage supermarket carrier bags 'cos they seem stuck together. much to the amusement/frustration* of mrs ilovemyelite. it's quite bizarre.

*delete as appropriate

actually my local tesco is no longer giving carrier bags out to customers unless specifically requested. they suggest it is part of their environmental awareness programme, but im sure it has more to do with appeasing government in relation to lobbying from eco-groups wanting an outright ban on carrier bags. that would spell disaster for the supermarkets, after all, most people do not go shopping with a pocket full of carrier bags already on them!

I'm no eco-freak, otehrwse I wouldn't drive an Omega, let alone a V6, but I do think that free carrier bags is a bad thing. It's not the environmental "green" issue, it's the bloody mess they make when you see them blowing on the roadside that bugs me, we produce way too much packaging that ends up littering and that's what I object to personally.

I have a whole bunch of those "bags for life" tucked away in the side compartment of the boot of my car.

What I can't stand is when you go in and buy 1 Mars bar and a can of Coke and they say "do you want a bag for that".

NO, I HAVE THUMBS!!!

The worst one was last week when I went to Pets At Home and bought 1 10ltr bag (with handles) of cat litter. The girl on the till then tried to put it into a carrier bag... ffs!

SWMBO says to open those carrier bags " You have to find the exact right  spot and have the perfect  touch and then everything comes together!"  --

 Think shes having a dig at us guys - not so sure shes talking about "carrier bags" though :-[ :-[   ;D ;D ;D ;D
