Plastic scourge

Anna May McHugh and her legion of mainly voluntary workers delivered another record-breaking Ploughing Championships despite a deluge of biblical proportions.

I did my usual round of stands and was alarmed by the multitude of plastic bags being distributed without any evidence of the levy being collected.

After purchasing a dozen small items, I was presented with 10 totally unnecessary bags.
