what a sad world we live in,


http://www.theargus.co.uk/display.var.1354991.0.shoppers_queue_for_musthave_bag.php
Shoppers Queue For Musthave Bag (from The Argus)

now a not quite plastic bag is a must have fashion item. If a famous person started eating their own rubbish people would be lining up to follow suit, sad personality lacking nobodies who only get satisfaction from copying some suposed famous git........

I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left..

Someone told me they were going for £80+ on eBay, I could not believe them so I had a look this morning, they were wrong ones just going for £126! Plain stupid

However Item number: 150116338732 on ebay should raise a smile..

You’re not wrong Fubar.

Was it just me or was anyone else embarrassed by the absolute chaos at the opening of the Primark store in London. It reminded me of scenes from Africa when the UN would deliver food to the starving….but they had a good reason!

Don’t start me on the opening of the Ikea store in north London when people got stabbed in the chaos over cheap sofas. For feck sake! Does anyone have any dignity anymore?!

Why doesn't someone in Brighton, Hove or Portslade make and sell some real bags that are fit to be called environmentally friendly ?

Yes fashion people want to look cool green as they have insecure personalities.

The Bag was for sale on Ebay for £150
due to the limited edition status.

Sainsburys can not stop that
they said on 5 Live radio they are getting more made.

Green Trendys
are the same type of Women that go insane over hand bags etc.

And the ones selling it on Ebay are Spiv-Chav Hybrids.

no dout the ones paying £150 for an eco bag are probably the ones driving around in gas guzzling 4x4 and merc etc etc. they probably think owning the bag makes up for the emmissions they fill the air with.

Brilliant.
Wasn't there a news story that the designer bags are made by child labour ?

What a wonderful idea ... worth keeping an eye on and maybe it will spread.

I suppose green and trendy is better than trendy and non-green. But careful not too trendy to get overcharge(tax?) for the ordinary plastic bag, do we?

You can go through life
being green and trendy.
But you can't bodypop
if your body ain't bendy.

It could be make some plastic bags that can be recycle as rubbish bags. Probably the Modbury people still have to buy the rubbish black bags.
