You plebs are STILL using plastic bags?! What the fuck, we got rid of those 10 years ago! Figure it out, England.
That's not a very uplifting comment. But to clarify, we don't have the old disposable ones here anymore. You can still buy a 20p harder wearing plastic bag at the checkout with the intention that it's reused, handy when you've popped in unexpectedly but most people are taking their own now.
