I'm having trouble watching this John.
Can you post the link - my broadband speed is slower than the average tortoise so I may be better at source.

Re: take your Canvas Bags to the supermarket
It's excellent - with some funny bits in.
It is a scientific fact that the human brain ingests and stores information better when it is received in song/rhyme format - this is a great way to get a very important message across whether it be subliminal or not.
HURRAH! Says I.

Re: take your Canvas Bags to the supermarket
It is quite funny.. which stops it from being well.. yawn! I think it's quite brilliant, gets the point across without coming over as boring and stuffy, and bits of the music are actually rather good So yes.. it's funny.. but in the nicest, most productive way And the chap singing has nice teeth.. did you notice!!?

Re: take your Canvas Bags to the supermarket
sorry I'm feeling alittle anti taking my bags today, having gone shopping yesterday during which time the baby must have kicked my favourite bag off the trolley and someone has had it away.... I know it was only a bag but I can't get it replaced AND it meant i had to use a plastic carrier (at least I've got one now to put his wet nappies in while we're out).
In fact the way he screamed round the shop, perhaps i should just be anti taking the baby shopping!
I think anything that makes people remember has to be good, we've got a big sign on the front door, just at kid height so that it reminds them.

Re: take your Canvas Bags to the supermarket
Ha - I stopped using carriers BECAUSE of my son - now 24. He sat in his child seat and unloaded the bags so that he could put the plastic carrier over his head................we changed to cloth bags pretty quick!

Re: take your Canvas Bags to the supermarket
One supermarket chain here sells "my shopping baskets" so you can just skip straight out of the shop when you're done, and your figs don't get squashed. It's probably best for people who always shop by car.
I get unreasonably annoyed whenever anybody forgets to bring our shopping bags.

Re: take your Canvas Bags to the supermarket
A friend of my family lost her wee boy, age 5, through this... I have been known to scream at people in the stockroom at my work for messing about with plastic bags and E has been told never to play with plastic (bags that is, Duplo is allowed ) Yet another reason to stop using plastic.invisiblepiper wrote:Ha - I stopped using carriers BECAUSE of my son - now 24.
