City workers may find their sandwiches and mineral waters cost a little more than usual this lunchtime - as the new 5p charge for plastic bags kicks in.
The Daily Mail has warned that the measure may cause "chaos" in the shops and arguments near cash desks but by the end of the day, a clearer picture should have arrived of the reality of this environmental measure.
And it’s not just bags, but what's in them, one sector of society needs to worry about, according to business website City AM.
British men are consuming more calories each day than they realise, it reported.
In a survey, most underestimated the calories contained in a korma curry with naan and rice by 400, the website informs.
Rolls Royce (LON:RR.) employees may have something a little more to worry about though as the UK engineering giant announced plans to cut another 400 jobs in its marine division. That's on top of the 600 announced in May this year.
Investors appeared to hail the cuts though and Rolls shares added 3.48% to 729p in early deals.
The big share gainer however was the mining giant that these days almost certainly isn't the "biggest company you have never heard of" - Glencore (LON:GLEN), which has not been out of the spotlight in recent days.
The group earlier saw its biggest ever daily gain in Hong Kong and was the biggest riser on Footsie - up 7.37% after chatter that it may sell its agricultural business.
After the PPI news Friday, banking was back, rather like Arnie, and today it was Lloyds (LON:LLOY) in the frame, with the British government selling more of its stake as part of its bid to put it back entirely in private hands, after the meltdown seven years ago, when it was bailed out.
In the junior space, shares in Kazakhstan- focused Tethys (LON:TSE) skyrocketed 42% after the oil junior after a new player has thrown its hat in the ring.
Olisol Investment Group, a private company that has its headquarters in Almaty, Kazakhstan, has submitted a non-binding proposal to Tethys, which is currently in takeover and funding negotiations with Nostrum Oil.
Nostrum as exclusive rights to talk to Tethys but that period of exclusivity is due to end soon
