That's why they're now called door mirrors and anyone who refers to them as wing mirrors is wrong.

Anyway, back on topic; I don't know about now so much, but they were referred to as 'tin cans'

[ElectricSoup]

Call it a tin, call it a can. I couldn't care less. But don't call the contents soda or I'll have to call the police.

Unless it's cream soda.

Council "friends" of ours keep theirs in the downstairs toilet.

Not much room in there. Two cans at most I fear.

Try floating a couple of cans in the cistern. Keeps them cool too

I'm pretty sure Google patched that around a decade ago now.

I thought it was always touted as a feature not a bug.

(Cliche of "it's a not a bug; it's a feature" excepted in this case)

Whatever it is/was, it doesn't work anymore from what I've read.

The fact that I'm moaning about someone using "my" gmail address but with an extra full-stop in it sort-of suggests that it is still working - as I am receiving emails for whoever that is. If it had been patched, I would never know they were doing it.

I just tried a test email from my real account to my gmail, with some randomly-added full-stops in, and I received it at the gmail account. So it definitely does still work.

Well, let me put it another way.

Keeping cans of coke in the fridge is council.

Why is it? Explain.

It is down market, common, vulgar.

People who need to keep tins of sugary fizzy drinks in the fridge are council.

I can't really say it any other way.

Sorry Monk, it's probably me but this is obviously a joke because nobody could be so stupid that they would say keeping soft drinks in a fridge is council but I just don't see the humour in this.
You are joking , of course. Aren't you?

I wouldn't bet on it. PH: Snobbery matters.

Is beer OK? It's loaded with carbs and quite fizzy. Well, Carling is.

Carling isn't beer, it's fizzy pop!

Guests (my sister in law and her kids particularly) who will get themselves a can of Pepsi from the fridge, drink half of it, then an hour later get another one. When they leave there’s just half drunken drinks everywhere.

Who has cans of cola in the fridge?

Where else are you meant to get them from? The oven?

Well, let me put it another way.

We’re extra council as we take advantage of the 24 for £6 pack in Tesco!

But seriously I love a cold Pepsi Max, council or not!

No-one in the UK calls them tins. It's can of coke, beer, etc.

Yep, beverages come in cans. Solid food (such as baked beans) come in tins.

What about worms?

Are they tin plated?

They are certainly plated, used to be tin, quite likely still is.

Even though i's not absolutely accurate, 'tin of beans' is easier to say than 'tim plated steel of beans'

Canned beer is extremely council, and Carling is the very nadir. Bottled beer is acceptable if the beer in the bottle is from your own microbrewery, although it should really be in oaken casks.

Am I doing this right?

You are beginning to get the hang of it.

We like 'nadir'.
