The self service checkout machines actually shout at you whilst you queue for the human assistants. No doubt in the interests of efficiency and quality of service, customers will shortly be asked to help sweep up and stack shelves.Charliemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964488383299624526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813681314464961128.post-79579896178524379222009-09-25T16:03:04.286+01:002009-09-25T16:03:04.286+01:00Thanks for your contributions Chaps.

Very handy for wrapping dry clothes in on motorcycle panniers, or in rucksacks. Good for putting all the messy remains of a meal in before it goes in another lining the bin. Emergency rain cap. Endless possibilities.Toby Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982935561221527990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813681314464961128.post-83277282947638992372009-09-25T15:03:21.383+01:002009-09-25T15:03:21.383+01:00I've always wondered why people bother buying ...I've always wondered why people bother buying bin-liners when you can so easily re-use most of the plastic bags you get for that very purpose.Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813681314464961128.post-48587846796644687692009-09-25T09:36:46.333+01:002009-09-25T09:36:46.333+01:00We all watched those films with slightly grungy co...We all watched those films with slightly grungy cops played by Steve McQueen or Michael Douglas or whoever, and saw them going to a late night deli in New York to pick up a pizza and some milk before carrying it home in a big brown paper bag. Then we realised that it meant chopping down a Honduran rainforest. Thing is, I can't see Sam Spade or Phillip Marlowe carrying much authority when seen swinging along with an eco-friendly two handled hessian this-is-not-a-plastic-bag-OR-a-paper-sack creation from Anya Hindmarsh. <br />The world has gone mad.Afferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053428773264067176noreply@blogger.com
