Corned Beef Tin Key in Trolley June 14, 2022 Post a Comment Little cheap / free things that make day to day tasks simpler? Here's my first one; Rescue the key from a tin of corned beef, open up the slot with a flat head screwdriver and (if you're being fancy) file or grind the shank round. Pop it on your key ring. Opens all 'push in a pound coin' supermarket trolley locks. Just push the D into the slot and pull it out again. No need for having a pound coin in your change anymore, or one of those crappy metal discs on a mini carabiner (just donate a pound into the next charity box you see to salve your conscience). Have you got any hacks to give to the forum? Next one. If you've got a fly that has landed (or a wasp, promise you won't get stung) hold your hands exactly equidistant from the little sod and clap. Gets 'em 95% of the time. They can only register one moving thing at a time so will fly toward the other hand. Beer but no bottle opener? Grip the neck of the bottle hard with one hand, insert a plastic lighter (or indeed any sturdy object, but plastic lighters work particularly well as the crinkles in the cap bite ever so slightly into the surface for grip) between your index finger knuckle and the underside of the cap. Lever downwards and off she pops. Come on chaps, I can't be the only one with these! The trolley keys only work with trolleys that have the coin slide facing you. Does anyone have a design for a key that fits the trolleys with the sideways coin slide. No, I don't want pictures of a £1 coin I've been trying to figure something out, but not got there yet. I have seen the trolley boys use a C shaped key that they push in from the front of the slot. I've got one of these for getting shopping trolleys, works a treat but the upkeep is pretty steep Attached Files: This is good: Or get a electrified anti-fly 'tennis bat'.... Yep, got one of them too. Amazing thing about those are the are actually tasers. Really not kidding. Disconnect the handle and the two wires that go to the mesh is a taser. 9V battery powered but it will still put you on your backside! That's the one I use as I've always got my keys on me...........dom Last edited by a moderator: Sep 30, 2021 I was looking at your car keys and was thinking what the feck were they doing inside a can of corn beef for you to rescue them Last edited by a moderator: Sep 30, 2021 Byronic Good thing we are all different, eh? A year or so on, a couple from me..... Cheap fix for "misty" plastic headlights on old cars (like my 2003 CRV) - maybe some motorbikes too? Solvol Autosol on a rag and 5 minutes rubbing per headlight - look like new and just passed MoT. No need to buy specialist cream like "Headlamp Doctor." Pellet tins in transport can be easily sealed with Masking Tape around the edge - much easier to handle than the usual Sellotape. Last edited: Sep 30, 2021 cheers mate. I've just picked up my new work van and the headlights look terrible. I was just about to order a repair kit but I've loads of autosol about I tried that at Asda once... the key didn't come out. To make matters worse, I then plugged the trolley back into the others in the rack and... the key still wouldn't come out. My Mrs was p***ing herself as I'm now preventing anyone else from getting a trolley or putting theirs back. In the end a staff member and a pair of pliers sorted the problem and I realised that it would have cost me precisely £1 to not look like a complete bell end and I would have got it back too. Worked with a guy that did something similar. Boss was always shouting at him as he was not a quick learner. Had to show him the same simple things time and time again. One day he had just been shouted at and he waited to the boss went to the toilet and said to me he had to go to his car to get something. . About ten mins later my boss asked me where he was . I was skimming a cylinder head so was looking at the machine and did not notice he had not came back. Told my boss he said he had to get something from his car. He got in and drove home . Boss called his mobile and he told the boss he had enough of his shouting and was not coming back.
