I'd like to apologize to the entire country for allowing this to have happened. I'm sorry.

Update

Made a small Tesco run and got some Yorkshire Tea. On with the day.

We trailed this a few years ago in the supermarket I worked at. The idea was you'd buy the jug and then just buy a new bag when you needed one. Save on plastic waste I assume, but it never caught on.

I figure the reusability of jugs would make them less wasteful, but I have no notion of the metrics. The one thing about bags I just can't get over is there is no reasonable way to reseal it again. They cut the corner and then just have an open liter of milk sitting around. Wild stuff.

You keep it in your refrigerator, it doesn't smell.
