?You’ve made some lighthouse openers

If only I was likely to cook from a can I’d have a can opener but these days Heinz beans have ring pull lidsCan openers often have a handy hooked bit you can use it to open cap by prising up several of the serrated edges. Or if you don’t need to open a tin use the wheel bit and prise upwards . Slange x
You REME ???During my twelve years in the army I never owned a bottle opener. Our regimental belt buckle was made for opening bottles. The moto on it said twist to open.
Most of the fitters vehicles had a bottle opener fitted but one of our officers thought he would try and bring some culture to our crowd by bringing a bottle of wine. We left him to work out how he was going to get in it whilst we drank the beers.
Sir Kannon Fodda. I like the sound of thatIf you were a knight you could use your sword.
Yes, it's a well known acronym for Rough Engineering Made Easy!You REME ???

The cushiest number I ever had was three years in the REME Base Workshops at 39 Engr Regt., Waterbeach. The REME CO was a golf nut and he'd built a mini golf course on the airfield! My first important job there was to machine up a new compound gear train for the gang mower! I made sub Sgt. whilst there at only 25 years old, I can't think why.... Yes I remember that one very well.
R.E’s. = Ruin Everything.
I did the 25 stretch and made WO 1 ASM.
Pension is very welcome now and keeps us on the road as often as possible in the van.
Nice to meet you.

Lay the bottle top on a table edge and smack it with your hand.
Wrecks you table edge, but you get the beer.

It was 1966. Drinking several double rums and pep in the squadron bar (5p each in new money) in the 16 Sqn RE bar in Osnabrook started to become a habit, so I went to see the CO to ask for some leave to go and get my motorbike from the UK. When asked why I said I didn't want to become an alky like everyone else!Paderborner Pilsner for us. Miss the good old days

His response was "Admirable sentiments young man: take a week off!"
I was the first of the few and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
