Food for thought! Even my husband carries a fold up bag now. You make a good point about the desirability, Ruth. It would be a shame if someone’s work were not appreciated, but all we can dois try!

Thank you Margaret. I gave my brother-in-law one and he carries it around all the time in case he might need to buy something extra from the shops so I’m pleased they are well recieved by both men and women. I shall be packing Xmas gifts in Morse bags for the family – with gender sensitivity. As you say, all we can do is try

Wow Ruth…your guardian angel was on the ball that day!

Thanks Theresa. The panic was horrendous after the event but once we had another plan for getting there we were fine. I will pass on your message to Stonny
