As noted earlier Morrison's do a "deep fill" version yet only 50g more but £2.50.. ?I think it should be renamed slightly more gristle :-) Well that's my memory of the bloody things, my first and only experience was as a kid when my next door neighbour died and we got all the tins from the shed, my first ever experience of tinned Strawberries too.

I'm gonna have a word with Ahmed down the corner shop... he charges £1.75!

I just remembered , as a kid having burgers in gravy from a tin, cant remember who made them though

I remember the excitement of Findus Savoury Pancakes, quickly followed by disappointment. Same for Soda Stream. Our first Microwave when everyone left the house I cooked a fry up on one plate in it. Surprised I survived that and the exploding boiled egg.

Why a boiled egg with a fry-up?

the boiled egg was another test, that got messy.

My first microwave which cost an arm and a leg was truly disappointing. However my first deep fat fryer was a revelation . Yep, you can deep fry bacon ...

No - they dont have a can opener key and the best way to open them is with a good old fashioned can opener. Most attempts at opening end up in A&E until you've mastered the technique.

Yes, you are absolutely right. I once attempted to gain access to the meaty Shangri La with one of those tiny army can openers. A messy business.

I've been in the Westlers factory near Malton and watched them being made, what a glamorous life I lead.

thems the ones I remember, used to love them, don't fancy trying them now though

I never could understand why they sold Westlers hot dogs in cinemas.

3 tins of hotdogs, 4 packs of rolls. Sorted.

And who can't eat 2 dozen of Westler's finest at a time?

... or it's a plot by the supermarkets to make you buy 12 rolls when you only need 8.

Buy your bread in a supermarket and you deserve all you get.

Whilst rummaging around in my attic, I found the original copy of the Bible...... which was nice.

Is it signed?
