The bottle banks around Ireland after Christmas are quite a sight

Chaos.

IT’S THE FIRST week in January and it’s back to reality for the nation.

But one area we often forget about is the bottle banks of Ireland.

Look at them there, the poor things

This is their busiest time, and people can’t get near them such is the demand

The time of excess is over, and now this is what we’re left with

Best leave it until next week, in fairness

At least the country is ridding themselves of the bottle baggage

This should be a positive experience - everything is going to be allllright.
