I am beginning to find it difficult to buy fruit and veg at a supermarket because as you say, everything is wrapped in plastic. I do not want 6 apples, I may only want one, everything is packaged for a family. I could not read about the whale it was too upsetting.

Yes it has but that doesn't stop the unnecessary plastic packaging.

We've had plastic bag charges for years in Wales-I thought the rest of the country had gone the same way?

I.like most people.use shopping bags but everythings wrapped in plastic...newspaper supplements-in plastic bags....bread in plastic bags..fruit.veg etc etc....I DONT buy fruit&veg in plastic bags....but millions do!!! At the checkout yesterday...whilst using my own bags..the cashier put the fish I had bought in a plastic bag...I told her I didnt want it and she then looked annoyed!!!!...our planet is suffering and its heartbreaking.....
