    In my day we would have picked and cooked our own beetroot. That's the problem with the youth of today, got it too easy.

    I used to be paranoid about scraping the last few drops of Branston Pickle out of the jar in case the knife shaved off tiny slivers of glass....

    LOL @ OAC,

    have you tried turning the lid the wrong way, it might lossen it up a bit.

    Are you calling Halibut deformed?

    Are you saying his (_!_) wouldn't cover a pickle jar?

    Halibut - OA's insulting you...

    Shouldn't you be getting the lid off your beetroot?

    LOL That sounds like a euphemism now

    DQ's jar opening tip... the reason you can't open it is because of the vacuum inside the jar SOOO get a bottle opener and gently lever the side of the lid until you hear the 'popping' sound TA DAAAAAAA jar will open easily :D
