I find it strange that us on this forum being rosbifs resident in France, the majority on this thread are stressing about what is happening in the USA and the UK. Maybe the current situation in France is beyond them? On this thread its to be expected given the title but on the rest of the forum in ...

The top was rusted on so after levering that off what was inside was caked, so broke it up and crushed it to powder Mixed some of it with water, it behaved exactly as the original complaint described - mush - left...
