I think they are telling you to turn it clockwise Steve……if you turn it anticlockwise it won’t open your tin :tongue-out3:
Best warning I’ve seen was on a packet of metal wargames figures….something like “if you melt these down and turn them into bullets they could hurt someone if you fire them from a gun”…….

Well, that got me thinking, so, in the spirit of Sir Isaac Newton, I have carried out an experiment on an unsuspecting tin of baked beans...and...it does work if you wind it the 'wrong' way. It's a bit weird going backwards but it works!
It's important that we know these things. This may not be Nobel Prize material, but it proves that the scientific method is alive and well on our ever more scientifically isolated islands
The labelling on my box of eggs says "may contain eggs". I should think so. Mind you with the scarcity of them around these parts at the moment you can't be sure...

For some reason I've been noticing kitchen things recently.
I've just noticed that my tomato ketchup says that it should be stored in the fridge and eaten within eight weeks once opened! I have never, man or boy, stored ketchup in the fridge or eaten it that quickly. Am I the exception or the rule?
I'm off to check the brown sauce now :smiling3:
Edit: What a relief. The brown sauce (HP) has a best before but no other storage requirements or other restrictions.

No,never in the fridge!

Love these instuctions.
Does anybody remember the great cartoonist Larson and the Far side?
He did a cartoon called the school for the gifted, showing a brainy child pulling a door to open it when it said push! Simply but so well done!

Lamented his retirement. The Polar Bears observing the broken igloo and saying how delicious the chewy parts were was my fave.
My favourite was a bloke in a string vest full of holes siting in a grotty room, banana skin on floor. Georgio Armani at home lol
The Darwin Awards were also excellent as I recall.
Your making me think and laugh at his Genius. Have his books will have to dig them out
My Aunty Joan was an early adopter of a Japanese knitting machine. It's instructions were equally bizarre and incomprehensible.
Google translate is slightly better these days.
When I first went to the USA for work back in the eighties I bought a burger and chips, which was handed over in a plastic box with a big label "WARNING! These fries may be hot"! I believe this was soon after a woman sued MacDonalds after she'd burned her delicate areas by putting a cup of hot coffee between her legs at a drive-through. A few years later I hear of a chap in the US suing Black and Decker after he lost three fingers trying to cut the top of his garden hedge with a lawn mower. The mower fell off the hedge - so he tried to catch it. :rolling:

There was a guy who sued winnebago because he put on hes cruise control then left the drivers seat to make a coffee and crashed :flushed:

I remember a set of instructions for fitting a larder pull out unit showing the " blasted drawing " !
