From April next year, food and drink businesses won’t be allowed to display plastic straws nor will they be able to automatically hand them out. It is estimated 4.7 billion plastic straws, 1.8 billion plastic-stemmed cotton buds and 316 million plastic stirrers are used each year in England. https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/22/plastic-straws-drink-stirrers-cotton-buds-will-banned-2020-9640586/ You can get re-useable metal straws, I dread to think of what sorts of bacteria will be growing in side them if not cleaned out properly. How many holes does a straw have? Not two as is most commonly thought, they only have one. You can let sink in at your leisure.
Only kids, pooves and *****s use straws so have no idea why these need banned. EDIT: I actually know some **** who drinks coffee out of a copper straw, his reasoning "it tastes better and won't stain my pearly's" Needless to say he's from Edinburgh so qualifies under the "poove" and "mong" criteria.
As someone who often frequents the A&E department of Salford Royal after a jovial Friday night out, the need for a straw is very important in consuming the liquid food on the ward I inhabit for the weekend. Will have to go down the intravenous route, like my drugs.
