Hello Philip
Just a quick note to ask one question.
With your company - along with others - trying to get people through your doors and spending lots of money in advertising. Why not take advantage of the present feeling regarding "Plastic bags", why not ...go back to when I was a child....paper. Why not be the "First" Food company to say, tell you what, we are not going to charge 5p for each carrier bag, we will give you paper carrier bags FREE. Yes it will cost but, it will do more good and get more people through your door, than cart loads of money spent on advertising.
Just a thought.
Regards
Victor W Whitford.
