"A bag for life," explained Amanda.
"You know when you go to the supermarket? You can either buy a cheap carrier bag or a bag for life which is better quality and a bit more expensive."

He still didn't look convinced, leading David to quip that Simon hadn't been to a supermarket since 1981.
Here's a preview of Micky's performance:

Who is Micky P Kerr?
Micky is a stand-up comedian who has won rave reviews for his performances at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, including in 2017 when he brought his show Lay-Z to the Fringe. In his material, he talks about watching TV whilst drunk and his irrational hatred of celebrities. He's also been described as "the bastard spawn of John Cooper Clarke" and was a runner-up in 2016's Musical Comedy Awards.
Speaking about his Fringe show, Micky said it was "an hour of comedy which involves: a guitar, some spoken word, some superbly written social analysis and a few crowd 'sing a longs'. It's all about laziness on a micro and macro level."

What else does Micky P Kerr sing about?
It's not just bags for life – Micky has also written and sung a rather amusing song called 'I Like Drinking' which, you guessed it, is about booze:

Also on YouTube is a clip of Micky singing not only Bag for Life, but also the song he describes as his "best material".
It's called 'The Absolutely Amazing Song' and is about travelling around Europe. And it's pretty funny:
