One of these days Martin, I really will slap you :-) They do have
some nice porcelain urinal bottles for men, would you like me to save
1 for you? :-))))

With matching bedpan?

Now if they have a mincer with a sausage snout, I'd be pleased to
contribute and pay P&P.

Now boys, play nicely. Why does Rusty need a mincer?

Earlier post contains a hint...

I have three mincers, but none of them has a sausage snout.

Lovely bit of context-less prose. ;-)

Nearly foolproof, I use blunt pliers to grab the protruding edge of the rubber seal and pull firmly. When possible it helps to reposition the bite to get a better grip. all being well the seal will be pulled outwards enough to release the vacuum and hey presto. Job done. The only thing to go wrong is the seal tab tearing off in which case plan B must be used.

Releasing the vacuum can be a PITA, the problem is one can easily chip
the lid or bottle rim. Has anyone found an easy fool proof way of
opening them?

In France you can buy a tool like a giant sardine can opener. It works just like that - wrap the tongue on the seal round it and pull. Unfortunately my jars of fruit are in England and the opener is in France!

Ask Jeremy Clarkson. He is descended from the Kilner family!

He probably rams them with a 4x4.


Much more likely to be an AMG Supercharged V8 Mercedes. :-)

There's a lot of things you can get in Germany, that you can't get in UK.

A pair of pliers to pull out the rubber seal and release the lower pressure inside.

Just hold it under a warm tap to expand the air inside this will reduce
the pressure and make opening much easier.
