I could have used the NSPCC bag to doublebag it, but the NSPCC bag doesn't need it. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=19807#post-140652 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:45:12 +0000 Deadcode 140652@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Excellent.

Trying to throw a fully laden BHF bag can, ironically, be quite bad for your heart'. The Mencap bag was poor and could not even cope it hot discarded cooking oil without melting’ said chief judge Archie Smith.</p> <p>The Local Government Associated, which sponsored the awards, said the contribution of charity bin bags to the economy was not given the recognition it deserves with ‘Millions being saved through the need to provide residents with council-funded bin-bags thanks to the selfless acts of these charities.’</p> <p>A surprise lifetime achievement award, sponsored by Mary Bale who achieved notoriety for attempting to throw a cat into a wheelie bin, was given to the RSPCA for its innovative charity collection box, intended to preserve delicate items for later sale ‘The box is ideal for holding several cats and because of its strength they would never have escaped. Also it's practically sound proof. I just wish this box had been around whilst I was in my prime’ wept an emotional Miss Bale. </p>
