You can use the key to release your trolley at the supermarket

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?

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.

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.

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

"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.

Weld the key onto a drill bit so that it goes into a cordless drill chuck.

Should open it in record time
