The Beatties carrier bags keep appearing - this time I've bagged one with a picture of the Starship Enterprise on the front.
Since this is the version from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I'd say this dates from very early 1980s, making it nearly 40 years old! No complaints from me, as this is my favourite version of the venerable spacecraft. A bit slicker than the original but not completely messed with. (We will never mention the version in Enterprise although the dictionary does in the entry for "fuggly")
The back of the bag has an advert for Energiser batteries, which I think you can still get, so a long-running brand name.
Incidentally, if you think I have the largest collection of these bags, you'd be wrong. I understand that a portfolio of the complete set exists somewhere in Leicestershire...

Proper plastic bags! No biodegradable dolphin-hugging stuff there; this does mean that your carrier bag should now be considered a civil partner which cannot ever be disposed of. ;)
Not sure if you've seen this, but I was browsing the pre-owned section of hattons today and thought i'd bring this to your attention just in case, they do also have a Beatties tank wagon listed....
