But it STILL can't separate the Gin's screw top from the ring that holds it onto the bottle!!
I shall just have to knock the neck off on the edge of the table!!

(With flu, fell over a litre of Scotch yesterday. So many splinters couldn't even sieve it!!)

An old jack dustys trick was to heat the cap in warm water. the whole thing come off in one. remove some of the contents and replace with water. Put the cap back on and when it has cooled no ones the wiser.
