Looks like the pandemic hasn’t ridded us of the litter-ate round here. So, now ‘Greens’ are on the rise, can’t we make it an offence to sell takeaway foods or cigs in packaging ? Would be a nice little earner for someone making reusable holders for a good price - which could attract a secondhand value for returns. Job done!

Been a "bête noire" of mine for ages the amount of packaging that goes into simple items. Remember the fag packets of old that were used to do simple calculations on? Simple cardboard with no cellophane. They caused cancer just the same as today's over packaged products.
On a similar note I find it amusing that members of the great unwashed will scream abuse at anyone not wearing a face muzzle yet happily stick a woodbine in their mouth.
Nowt as strange as folk.
