Aaaargh

I've just had to give up and stop
wait for my blood pressure to drop
this long stream of fails
has broken my nails
whose idea was these child-proof tops?

Hey Viv ... do they have child proof caps on beer bottles? Now that's a thought - Lindsay

It wouldn't matter, Lindsay- I open the tops off beer bottles using my missus' eye socket. Regards, Viv

You are right to moan, Viv. Sometimes they can be so awkward that you could just hammer away at them! Last time my g'daughter (aged 11) did it for me, commenting that I'll be able to do it when I grow up! Cheeky monkey:) ~ Regards // paul

One of my neighbour's five year old children is my 'TV remote solutions consultant', Paul. Remember only having two or three channels? Thanks for dropping by, hope you're well. Regards, Viv

Viv, what you need to do is give it to a child to open.

Glad to hear it, Anne Lise. I still have a full bottle of cough syrup from a year ago that I can't get the top off. And don't get me started on blister packaging that batteries come in- it has a blood lust. Viv x
