so fucking hard to open?

Spent a good half hour sawing at it with a butter knife because my Waitrose essentials can opener was being prejudiced towards Northern foodstuff. Am I just too much of a soufern poofter or is there a guarded secret to opening these fucking things?

Just ditch your shitty wheel can opener and get one of those, it works infinitely better.

I just took the pic from the interwebz but I also have a can opener made of a single metal sheet, like yours, that I've had for like 20 years. And yes it works even better than the one I've posted. I honestly don't know how wheel can openers ever became so popular even though it so fucking shit at its one and only function of opening cans.
