Im tired and grumpy, and really really p’oed, so henceforth, I shalt rant.

Consider yourself warned.

Todays object at which forth we shalt direct thy anger – coles shopping bags.

I swear, these are the bane of my exsistance (at least right now anyway).  Why?  I hear you ask?  Well, my friend, let me explain.  Contray to the popular belief of the sheep that seem to be populating brisbane at this time – they are not a fasion accessory.  They do not convey status.  They are not a substitue for a handbag.  They are a shopping bag.  But yet this does not seem to stop every man and his erstwhile dog from toting them around as if they were.

Please dont get me wrong, kudos to cole and the other big supermarkets for the ‘go green’ idea.  Frankly australia has a big problem of shopping bags.  And if I was doing the shopping I would have been using enviromentally friendly bags years ago.  And if I was doing the shopping now, I would be using these.  Infact I am thinking of investing in a few before I return to japan to use for shopping there – they are handy, they are a good size, they can be slung over the sholder – but there’s no way in hell I would be using them as an everyday carry bag.

I dont know how people got the idea that they are ideal carry bags – I see them used that way more often than as shopping bags.  Thats why we have bag shops – to buy all kinds of bags.  I believe there is a bag for every purpose.  (I also like to go bag shopping….)  But even then – I would go for the japanese idea over the coles bag – using a paper bag from a store – at least these convay status to some extent – your not just using some bag from the grocery shopping – you went to a store and actually bought something! ohh…  ah….

end rant.  out of steam.
