Do fish fingers still come without the plastic there?? They do here, which makes them most attractive for me as something to have in the freezer for the kiddies (yeah and I must admit to being partial to a fish finger sarnie myself!) But the bag thing is very good. I got a rather frosty reception in Sainsbugs in Hove when we were doing our stocking-up on British goodies to come back with us. I too had to ask for carriers, not having brought my own for obvious reasons when all my reusables are here in Italy!! I got a rather frosty reception from the cashier, but it could have been she heard me make comments about there only being 2 tills open with quite a few people queueing and seeing about 6 employees doing nothing but muck about (jan 2nd) the shelves were half empty, there was no marmite(!!!!) but there were those huge trolley things everywhere wrapped in thick plastic obviously waiting for other staff (I overheard an employee telling a woman that she was not allowed to break the plastic to get a bottle of booze out for her. If she wanted it she had to go herself to customer services and ask them to call a manager who 'might' be able to get it out for her!!) to put on the shelves. I merely commented that we ultimately pay for them all to wander about in the prices we pay for things... that was all. Ho hum. You pay for carriers here mostly and they are about 10c each so you do think more than you do at the Supermarkets in the UK where you have just been able to take as many carriers as you like.

Glad to see you evaded the new spam filter! We tend to minimise Tesco shopping where possible but this week I caved in to convenience and warmth I'm afraid. We're all human right?
