New Gas Tank

[Krysia@No98]

After running out of gas yesterday mid bead. (yes, don't get me started) my Dad very kindly took me to get some more this morning.

*sigh* so here is my problem - I can't get the black cap of 

Suggestions please

(please Please PLEASE - this is almost worse then having no gas at all)

Sorry if you have thought of this - but are you turning it the right way I'll just go down to the shedio to check which way that is...

[Margram]

Right - on mine you have to turn it clockwise to undo it

gaud now I feel like an idiot, thank you  it came out really easily - why on earth couldn't I manage that yesterday!?!

(it wouldn't budge either way yesterday.  So did one of you sneak in the middle of the night and lossen it?  )

Thank you, thank you

No, that's just another example of inanimate objects trying to make your life a misery . . . .

I was trying to open a pickle jar this morning and I couldn't do that either - ended up bringing that into work.  It's so useful working with men.

(no, I wouldn't have been able to carry the 13kg tank in    )

Try tapping the side of the lid on the edge of the kitchen work top.  I always do that with lids that will not come off.  OK no use with the gas tank. 

Possibly with the heat yesterday the black bung was expanded when you tried this morning it was cooler so it had contracted.

I wish I could use that as an excuse, but it was quite cold here yesterday 

I shall try banging the jar this evening

tee hee!  did you have weetabix for breakfast this morning   

[Krysia@No98]

I think I just need to admit that I'm a weed!

Glad someone else has heard of that one - I am sure my Nana told me that but I've been looked at like I must be an alien when I have suggested it to people!

MY OH got a bit of a shock the first time I did it when he was around, but he has got use to it.  Don't think it has ever failed me, when I have had a jar I could not open, even managed one that OH could not open once.

That made me laugh - years ago when I was a student I couldn't open a pickle jar, so I went and stood in the street outside until a bloke came past, then said "'scuse me... can you get the lid off this jar for me please?". A few weeks later I ran into him again - he turned out to be a lecturer at my college

ha ha ha, excellent!  I confess I was thinking of doing that this morning, but non of the men that live in my building were going past the door 

I do wish the lovely Alex hadn't moved
