Has anyone else been having problems with opening tins? We found it
really hard to open tins with a previous tin opener. So I got an old
fashioned butterfly one and this didn't work very well, so bought
another from Asda (35p) and found this didn't work. Finally went to
John Lewis and paid for an expensive one (�7) and have now found this
doesn't work properly.

This made me think that maybe the manufacture of tinned goods has
changed slightly.

Forget the new fangled gimmicks and use an old fasioned "stab and cut"
maual one.
You'll prolly find them in a pound shop or chandlers.



Then cut yourself on the jagged edges!


Are you accident prone then?



Which is much more likely nowadays. Instead of touching the cad and lid
just once (to pour out the contents and drop the empty in the bin), we
are expected to rinse off both lid and can and bin them separately.

I certainly have cut myself on cans due to this method of opening.
Accident prone? Maybe. Trying where sensible to avoid wickedly nasty
sharp edges? Yes, definitely.
