    Bring back the tea chest I say!
    They weren't reused. So very expensive way to carry tea.

    as Andy From Sligo said - cheap thin plywood and nasty sharp metal edges, older ones were better

    Very handy for house removals though but I have to agree about the nasty sharp edges.

    I had to put some bubble wrapping packing stuff into a bin today , what bin???

    is it classed as thin plastic ... so therefore landfill rubbish bin? - anyway its in the landfill bin (as much as it breaks my heart, I mean how many years will that take to break down?) - but if it can go in the recycle bin I can go out and easily transfer it over but I dont know where we are at with this hard plastic and soft plastic and what plastics cannot go in the recycling bin anymore now

    thanks, been having a think about it -i cant live with myself knowing that its going into normal landfill waste and could blow off the landfill into the sea and kill the sea life (been watching the ocean rescue things on Skynews lately) or will jast take over a hudred years to break down (thats if it ever would break down) .. I think I shall go out now and rescue it from the black landfill bin and just put it in a cupboard somewhere here instead , and maybe use it again when I sell something on ebay .

    Just heard Minister for our Environment waffeling away on Newstalk, slinking away as to why Ireland will miss its 2020 international emissions target by a bloody massive margin. Dennis Naughton thanks for nothing.

    On the badly needed deposit and refund system he mentioned that the €160.00 million cost of implementing a system was preventative. That is a pawltry amount. This amount would be paid back many fold with the numerous savings it would make.

    Our streets and beaches would be free of the scourge of the empty plastic bottle.
