I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier

It is one like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/161465585711 although I bought it in this country and it was (I think) quite a bit cheaper. But unfortunately I've had it for absolutely donkey's years and can't remember where I got it -- I don't think it was anywhere unusual, though.

Shoving that image into Google Image Search doesn't find anywhere in the UK selling that sort of thing, which is very odd. I did find somewhere that'll ship to the UK, though: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fox-Run-Bottle-Opener-Craftsmen/dp/B00OVMFB3E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416832442&sr=8-2&keywords=fox+run+jar+and+bottle+opener

The plastic handled one is like the one I use - but I'm gobsmacked it costs £25. I'd expect it to cost a fiver in a big Sainsbury's.

That was pretty much exactly my thought, but neither Sainsburys nor Tesco seem to sell such a beastie any more (not online, at least).

Indeed, that is more or less exactly the Device that the mother has. It's the only kind I've ever known to be of any actual use!

Aha... downstream a bit, sammason's link to the Welcome Mobility page finds me this: http://www.welcomemobility.co.uk/Products/Universal-Opener__KK_T7206.aspx

Might have to get me one of those. Anyone else want one, while I'm on!?

Ah, excellent!
