    Finally some good news from Scotgov?

    "By 2014 Scottish retailers will charge a minimum of 5p per bag in a bid to reduce carrier bag use."

    As you say, finally. They've been humming & hawing over this for as long as possible...

    I liked this when I briefly lived in Holland. They had coin operated carrierbag dispensers at the entrance/exit. The trick was to buy the bag before you got to the till as it wasn't that close :O)

    At the rate I now use plastic bags, this might set me back up to £1 a year.
