Bags of memories carried around for the future

- WILLIAM HARTSTON

I SMILED when I saw the picture of Sue O’Dowd with her 36-year-old shopping bag (“When it comes to a carrier for life, this gran has it in the bag”, February 21).

I keep my knitting wool in an old Kwik Save bag but in my sewing box neatly folded up I have a couple of unused carrier bags which remind me of our old and well loved local supermarke­t, which sadly closed down some years ago and is now a Morrisons.

Two plastic carrier bags may be insignific­ant to some but they hold precious memories for me.
