Would you care to expand on your dilemma. What are you going to use this bag for? :)
Perhaps the thread should be called today's charity bag deliveries?!Quote:

My plastic bag for today is the same as the one I have been using for the past few weeks - I'm very green you know.
It's a Lishmans butchers one, a rather revolting light snot green colour. Which now contains my sweaty running kit!:D
Of course one of the more famous plastic bags was 'Black Bag the faithful border bin-liner' in Viz comic. I always remember that exciting story where he rescued the Brotherhood of Man from down the well :cool:

This really could be the most rivetting thread ever! :rolleyes:
Stick with it Dom, it could be a slow burner this one :rolleyes:Quote:

Do you think they'd count as a bivvy bag for the OMM
I don't know what you're all on about, i never get any of these bags through the post. Sometimes we get free pens in the post from charities along with an apology for sending it.
I take my snap to work in an orange carrier bag which i got when i bought my last tub of electrolyte from the tri shop. The good thing about plastic carriers is that they're not made of paper, but this unfortunately means they have that cheap plasticy feel a bit like the inside of a Kia Sedona or a Daewoo Nubira. Some plastics are biodegradable but we should be careful not to reuse too many plastic bags in case they spontaneously biodegrade and you lose a bagful of fresh conkers all over the floor. I always look out for carriers which have reinforced handles as this means i can fill them with more conkers initially, or carry more sandwiches to work. Reinforcing of certain areas of a carrier bag should be looked upon as a value added exercise by retailers as customers will come more often in order to raise the mean standard of their carrier bag hoard. I don't like supermarkets who are tight with carrier bags and make you ask for them before issuing you with one only, they should respect the needs of customers especially in conker season.
I've just nipped off to carry out a random inspection of some of the carriers in our house, looking for signs of splitting in the seams etc...all was well.
Carrier rhymes with the word harrier which is often used in running club names, such as Wharfedale or Eyryie.
Age Concern bag today. 3 for the week with 1 1/2 days to go.
I'm jealous! came home after a week in t' lakes and not a single charity bag in the pile of unopened post - loads of takeaway leaflets though - think I need to put a notice up "delivering a takeaway leaflet? If so please put straight in the green wheely bin to your left" coz that's where they all end up.Quote:

I wonder how many bags are needed to generate £40???
One bag dropped through the letter box today from the YMCA
(Altogether now :) )

Age Concern on the doormat today.
and in other news: my snot green Lishmans bag has gone to the great Leeds landfill to biodegrade over the course of the next gazillion years. I have now enlisted a high gauge M&S bag (again in snot green) for humping my running shoes around.
RNLI bag today. Collections operated by Local Community Recycling Services, who donate £50 a tonne. Air Ambulance are getting a duff deal there?? :rolleyes:Quote:

Todays plastic bag is "Save the children". According to the blurb I can expect a bag every 6 weeks!!
I wonder if there any saddos out there that collect these things??
North West Air Ambulance today but I have to supply the plastic bag.
Different :)
