Princes corned beef!

I bought some Princes Spicy Corned Beef, in a tin optimistically labelled "easy open". Yeah, right.
Firstly, the opening instructions are positioned so that they are upside down when you're trying to open the can.
Secondly, the ring pull fell off the can when I performed step 2 and tried to start step 3. Then, I tried to prise the lid off with a spoon and ended up with a bent spoon and a cut finger.
Thirdly, when I tried to email them, the form on their website wouldn't submit!
Oh, and the corned beef is minging too.

Im sorry but this one brought a smile to me. Your sir name is'nt Bean is it ? the one with the teddy ;D
Serious note if the tin was dodgy keep an eye on the cut finger.Rememember. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
