Default Tin openers

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!


Which is much more likely nowadays. We are expected to rinse off both
lid and can and bin them separately. This might involve several
additional handlings.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
