Also, when I was growing up, we’d use supermarket plastic bags as bin bags. Don’t know if that still happens.

We still do this. We only have a tiny landfill bin to encourage to recycle everything else, and even then we only fill it once every couple of weeks or so.

At the moment it’s being lined by the kind of blue bag traditionally associated with buying cans from an off licence.

Although there is a danger with this that you end up putting the wrong one out for the binmen (as I have done before)
