But I have to admit that I was very pleased yesterday that when I bought 'something' to help my roses to survive a particularly virulent attack of greenfly (no amount of ladybirds could have coped!), I was very glad I had succumbed to the lure of the dreaded plastic bag, when the top of the 'something' unscrewed itself in the boot of the car and I had to funnel it all back into the squirter before going on the rampage in the garden. The indestructible plastic bag had retained well over 75% of the noxious substance. Now I'll have to find a way to re-use it. BTW in France they stopped supplying plastic bags over a year ago, and in Portugal, not the most 'forward' of countries, one might think (?), they were supplying re-usable linen bags instead of plastic back in 2001 when we lived there.
