Just how are people supposed to get their shopping home ? .

In a rain soaked country like the uk recycled paper bags are out of the
question unless a new type of greaseproof paper bag is invented .

You don't need shopping bags really - you only need those if you plan
to go home on public transport. You can help save the environment by
abandoning shopping bags and ensuring you always drive a nice big car
to the supermarket instead.

I prefer to drive a big car and then "double bag" on the plastic bags
at the supermarket. However, now that I know it upsets Gordon, I'll
be triple bagging. :)

His wife's a double-bagger :)
