You would!

It must only be the paper bags then. You always see people in American films/progs carrying their groceries in their arms, in plain paper bags. Someone said on TV once (can't remember where or why) that you could tell an American in the UK because of this habit.

I prefer the plastic ones, because I can reuse them. I really don't have much use for paper ones, other than lining the bird cage.

You mean like the generalisation here, from old people who were in London in the war saying.....The limeys all drink warm beer?

Or like people here thinking the only weather England has is rain?

That assumption is totally ridiculous - we have fog as well.

Obviously beer - proper beer, that is - is drunk warm, or more precisely, not chilled.

We've got a pile of save the world shopping bags in the back of the car, trouble is I never remember to take one into the supermarket with me.
