Baked Beans

Post by marisca »

Store the tins upside down and when opened the beans fall out easily.

What happened to the prizes for TOTW?

Prizes are awarded annually on the CC. You're just in time to be in the running this year for this fine Cruising tip.

That's all very well. But having unselfishly sacrificed my round the north trip to ferry another bloke's boat to the Clyde frae Falmouth, the plan was to use the ditch to get Marisca west. Thanks to an unticketed Lithuanian bucket driver driving himself and his steed into a lock and the resulting interest raised amongst the elfin safety mob, I may still be here when the cruise kick's off

Used to do that but Mr Heinz now provides a handy ring-pull, so it's upside down for me.

That'll be the ring that either snaps off or breaks your nail then? :lol:

If you still have nails after fitting out, you're not trying hard enough.
