Westlers hamburgers came in cans. When I was in primary school, so late
1960s, a flatbed truck carrying cases of catering cans crashed in Monmouth,
destroying a house. Nobody was injured but there were loads of impromptu
camp fires along the riverbank. Some of the improvised methods of opening
the gallon [1] sized cans was entertaining.

[1] that's an Imperial gallon with 8 pints

Used to love them, as a kid. They were in yellow cans, then.

I remember the odd tooth-cracking piece of bone.

Bruce, a question. Does the openoffice prog work on 64bit systems?

Having bought Microsoft Word for my last computer, I'm reluctant to shell
out 120 quid to get it again just because my computer is new.
