One or two brands have changed to Ring Pull type lids.
They're still bloody hard to open; you need a tug of war team of a dozen guys to prise it open.
Why change it but still make it so damn hard to prise open?

"You can use the key to release your trolley at the supermarket "
Didn't need a trolley only went in for a can of corn beef.
Had problems with trolley's before,not giving my pound back.A little old lady helped me last time,to get my pound.Thing is she said "that's a pound for the advice" so lost a pound anyway.

I am pretty sure I am not phd material but have never had a problem opening a tin of corned beef! Getting out on the other hand... Hence why it goes in the fridge, these days  |

"I have never been able to open a can either ..In the past I have had to wait for for my husband to come home from work to do it for me..Isn’t it about time they changed the tins on them.."
No the "tins" are "Ring" fenced by the Government |

Turn the key clockwise, keeping a slight upward pressure, until you have worked your way around the whole can. Hold the can over a plate or chopping board and carefully bend back the bottom of the can. Gently squeeze the can to release the Corned Beef. |

"Turn the key clockwise, keeping a slight upward pressure, until you have worked your way around the whole can. Hold the can over a plate or chopping board and carefully bend back the bottom of the can. Gently squeeze the can to release the Corned Beef."
Very good advice but add the following tip.
Before holding back base of tin, slide a knife around and between the inside of the tin and the meat.
That releases the hold of the contents on the inside of the tin, which occurs during its packing process.
The contents will slide out more easily. |

"I applaud the government for insisting they are nigh on impossible to open,
Each to their own but I'd sooner eat my flip flops  "
Not sure flip flop hash topped with melted cheese has the same appeal.. |
