Any ideas how to refill Sarsons vinegar bottle (see photo)

Doncaster is Scottish? Wow, who knew?

All down to the Treaty of Durham & King Stephen.

@Dave7 hasn't said if he's managed to part the bottle & bung though. He's just left it hanging.

Maybe he's tried one method and found it didn't work. You'd have thought he'd let us know which one in that case.

Dave7 has been out shopping and just got back in time to watch the football. Sorry to let you down but the bottle is not yet empty......my question was part of my forward thinking strategy.
At the risk of being boring I will first try the sharp knife idea.
As stated previously I tried the SCUBA diving and the Everest ones... they failed miserably.

So there is still some vinegar in it? Why didn't you say? Well, the obvious strategy is the one I outlined some pages ago, with bicarbonate of soda. The effect is strong and immediate.

But as a psuedo Scouser (Merseyside) I do not want to waste any of this valueable commodity. You do know the Romans paid wages in vinegar dont you. OK during the great vinegar shortage of 107 AD they resorted to salt but......
So I will wait till its empty

Salt, my good man, salt. Didn't you watch Monty Python? SALary.

It was only a matter of time before this thread descended Dante's Inferno, otherwise known as "should you put vinegar on chips"

Salt only here. Vinegar is used to wash windows in this house, that's it

Just when I thought northerners couldn’t get any worse.....

Never mind Monty Python.....he talks rubbish. I, on the other hand always talk sense and my FACTS are carefully researched. You seem to have missed where I explained that salt only became valuable during the great vinegar shortage of 107AD.

Think laterally. Leave the bung alone and drill an auxiliary hole in the side of the bottle. Then fill the bottle with a further charge of Sarsons before capping the new hole with a delightfully retro cork. Drilling holes in bottles is a topic that has been exhaustively discussed by dope fiends wishing to make bongs. Lookee here....

He's wanting to put another type of vinegar, not refill it with Sarsons. He could just buy another bottle of that.

Pick the plastic stopper out of the bottle with a sharp knife or other such implement. It does come out.

taking great care not to stick the knife in your hand whilst doing it


Mmm, I wonder if a corkscrew in the vinegar hole would be enough to yant ot out ?

Would the vinegar sting?

Sorry but anywhere east of Harthill it's salt 'n sauce. We don't know what vinegar is.

Harthill is in the People's Republic of North Lanarkshire, just over the border from West Lothian.

So that's pretty much to the west of nearly everywhere in England.

Hard to tell a Scot and a Yorkshireman apart. Both are hard to understand , think they know it all, tight as a ducks bum and think their county is the best in England .....

When did Scotland become a county of England? From another thread it illustrates the English arrogance and ignorance of geography.

Careful you don't get accused of not having a sense of humour. I think the rest of us spotted the intent immediately.
