Those infernal paint cans

[hk blues]

I bet most locals have no idea what we are talking about - they either get someone in to do their painting or, more commonly, don't bother painting anything anyway!  

Could be a ruse to get rid of us pesky foreigners!

The plastic cans in the UK just pry off, can be a bit awkward. I've got a tin of paint in the garage so I'll go and try and get tbe lid off, we get someone in to do the painting.

Yep.  When I couldn't get the lid off I asked the wife to do it.  Then told her:  "Now you've got the lid off can you paint the kitchen?"

Sounds about like my house.  "Babe, you want some coffee?"  is a trick question
