They’re better than that

I read with disbelief reports that millions of pensioners are defeated by packaging. A tin opener will do the biz on a ring-pull can that won’t. And help to extract the contents of a corned beef tin. And plastic doesn’t stand a chance against a sharp knife.
    All you need is the brains to slice carefully and keep your fingers out of the way.
    Maybe a chain-mail glove of the sort fishermen use when slicing up their catch would make a great Christmas present for your grandparents!
