Well, I do. I use them as dustbin liners. So remind us of the charge, if you would. Why is it being brought in? Who does it apply to?

So from October the 5th, if you go into a supermarket, even found out clothes shops, you have to pay 5p for a bag.

But it only applies to larger retailers. So if they employ more than 250 staff, you'll be paying 5P for your plastic bag.

Obviously to help the environment, we're using far too many plastic bags. And that actually

is a good change, in my opinion. However, it's one of those classic government, let's make

it as complicated as possible when it should be the simplest thing ever. Well, interesting

you say that, Lee, because the government's taken action.

Video for shoppers produced by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has been published.

Small retailers don't have to charge, but can do so on a voluntary basis.

You can avoid paying the charge, either by reusing single-use plastic carrier bags,

or by using multi-use bags for life. You also won't pay a five-pence charge if you're using a paper bag,

if you're in transit, or if your bag only contains certain items, such as unrapped food, raw meat and fish, prescription

medicines, uncovered blades, seeds, bulbs and flowers, or live fish.

Retailers need to keep track of how many plastic bags they've given out and where the

proceeds have gone and report this to government by the 31st of May every year.

We expect good causes to benefit from the charge by tens of millions of pounds each year.

So there you go, that's all really clear what you can have in your plastic bag.

However, the fund doesn't stop there.

Because Annie will explain, Annie, a plastic carrier bag you'd think is really simple, but not quite.

No, not if you're a retailer.

The Gov.ukk guidance says that a bag is considered as such.

If it has an opening and isn't sealed, you must charge at least 5P a bag is considered as such if it has an opening and isn't sealed.
