I think Ontarioclaret might be right. The tube thing is common in our grocery stores (supermarkets), and I do buy nuts this way, but we're provided plastic bags for our convenience :D

And then at check-out first question I'm asked is "plastic ok or paper?" None of this charging for carrier bags stuff, which always catches me out when I visit the U.K.

You'll only need the jar if you're incontinent.

Still stealing a living.

Point proven.

Hah, yes.

But my 2nd point is still very much true!

Just watch TV around 10am-2pm and see what comes on the adverts... SOMEONE clearly buys it.

I wouldn't know about the adverts.I just disagree that he stole or steals a living.about thirty years I had a friend who earned a living from skips in Blackpool. He loaded up his truck with all sorts of crap and sold it early Saturday mornings in Liverpool. Pieces of old carpet..and half full tins of paint etc.people will buy owt!whats the ads refer to?
