I've one of these I think; on mine there's a little chain which you have
to unhook to let you remove the lid. Very fiddly, you have to squeeze
your fingers in through a small gap. Hate it!

Thanks for the thought.

I have just solved the problem, while trying to break it in the gentlest possible way.

I knew it would be simple but ….

For anyone who has a similar problem; it’s the buttons that pull out (as they are not directly linked to the mechanism) to reveal the screw which holds the collar.
