Several plastic bags 'deals' have been listed on the auction1 site since the Government introduced the 5p charge on October 5.

英国政府10月5日出台新规,对塑料袋征收5便士的费用。自那以后,拍卖网站eBay上已出现好几笔出售塑料袋的交易。



One eBay seller is offering the chance for you to grab an Asda carrier bag, with bids starting at 99p.

"Grab a piece of history - from the good old days when you didn't have to get a 5p thick plastic bag or get your kids to carry the shopping. Handles are still intact," the listing reads.

"These have a variety of uses- can be used on your bike seat to keep it dry. Or you could use them at home in your small bins2 to collect rubbish. Or you could just shop with it- fits better in your pockets than the new bags- shop in retro style!"

Meanwhile, another seller is offering you the chance for you to get your hands on five random3 plastic bags for £1,000.

"No shopping included, may contain traces of nuts and the odd receipt - if you are lucky you may get a bag within a bag - it's like bagception," the listing reads.

The plastic bag charge has outraged4 many Twitter users since it was introduced, here's a round-up of the best reactions.

Is there anything more annoying than having to fork out 5p for a plastic bag?
