Whenever tinned food comes up in this thread i'm reminded of these beauties. Who buys these?!!!!

Why did anyone ever think that tinned sausages in lard was even a good or useful idea?

That photo reminds me of the emergency cupboard on an oil platform which is normally unmanned. You go there to do maintenance for the day but there are provisions in case the weather turns and the helicopter can't get back for you. It's often canned curry or crap like that!

Houses with the gas/electric meter housing door missing:

It's the council plaque of honour, even on a brand new housing association semi the meter doors are missing in the first couple of weeks. It's the opposite of new home owners sticking a smart slate house number on their reconstituted stone new build.

And revealing a PAYG meter....

Many years ago, a schoolmate of mine had a part-time job at a Granada TV shop. This also entailed going round houses collecting money from PAYG TVs. It was not unusual for the meter to have been fiddled and for him to receive offers of 'payment in kind'. Now THAT is council.

She was on Harry Hill's TV show recently.

I tried to watch this video, but seeing the old oil receive the chips and stir the bits and bobs made me feel a bit queasy so I made good my retreat.

The gas meter door is lying in the grass below isn't it? Probably landed in aforementioned dog egg though.

Ripped off its hinges in a frenzy because nobody knew where the key was = council.

(See also - small pane of glass broken near front door lock because came home drunk and couldn't find key. Same sort of reason why smartphone is lying in bottom of toilet bowl.)

Eating from rusty cans could lead to botulism poisoning. But, on the other hand, if you really need that disability allowance...
