Cant bear crisp packets everywhere.
So when I gave up sweets I also gave up crisps. While sweet alternatives can be found there are no plastic free crisps. So no crisps for me.
Actually I do eat them if they are out in bowls at parties – well it would be rude not to – but I dont buy them.
The problem of litter has soared in recent years and, nationally, the annual bill for removing it from streets, waterways and open spaces is a massive £370 million. The most common items are cigarette ends, sweet and food wrappers.

Britain’s beaches are nearly twice as dirty as they were a decade ago, a survey has found. ….. The most common rubbish was plastics, such as crisp packets, sweet wrappers and bottles.

Sweets – guess what most of them come wrapped in plastic or worse. TIC TACS IN A LITTLE PLASTIC BOX WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU FOOLS>>> So I have stopped buying themI know – it sounds truly noble but its really not that bad.
I can still buy chocolate which is foil and paper wrapped – and there are sweet shops in Queensgate market that selll unwrapped sweets by weight in paper bags.
I can buy cakes from the bakers with no wrapping at all and they are practically the same as chocolate bars.
