Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Genuine Mess Tins as Supplied to British Army WWW.MESSTIN.CO.UK Genuine Mess Tins as supplied to the British Army, they are manufactured in England and fit neatly together. Our Mess Tins are the ideal... They give the sizes, in mm. What I need to know is the pretty fukking precise height, internally, once they're put one inside the other. I have an egg box here. 2 3/4" high. It looks damn close. But, I'm thinking it may be that shade too high to safely put inside the tins? (Thinking about it? Factoring in the folded handle? Drawing board, isn't it? ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, neither of them seems to have wondered if a commercially available carton of six, large, free range eggs will fit safely inside. Got to fukking love this place, haven't ye? I either write a longer, more detailed post. Explaining exactly what I want to know. Why. Why I'm asking here. Etc. etc. etc. And get rolling eyes. Yawns. Tldr's.

Everyone suddenly assumes I've never heard of Google and live in central London. Cheers, anyway. Maybe @socks will turn up and raid the fridge, armed with a tape measure?

socks 32,253 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 If it’s the fact you want to keep safe or transport half a dozen eggs then there are plastic moulded egg cases for this very issue. I use one for my camping trips. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
