	Does exactly what it says on the tin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Does exactly what it says on the tin
		"[It] does exactly what it says on the tin" is a popular phrase in the United Kingdom, which originated in a series of television commercials by the woodstain and wood-dye manufacturer Ronseal, initiated in the late 1980s and still running as of 2006.
		The expression quickly entered British popular culture, used to describe anything that is exactly as it appears or claims to be; is particularly simple or straightforward; or works exactly as advertised.

	email reflection for December 1st 2004 - "What it says on the tin"
		“Does exactly what it says on the tin,” Ronseal's advertising slogan, is David Blunkett's persona.
		No, but we could say that everything that is known should be consonant with everything the person says, and the best - the only - way of ensuring that is to behave well in all circumstances.
		This email newsletter is distributed free of charge with the goal of helping God’s people appropriately to minister God's grace, mercy, love and truth wherever they may find themselves and to live with integrity by thinking and acting Christianly in every corner of their lives.

		I can't say I was particularly pleased with the style...
		If an author has published with both genre and non-genre publishers, Jonathan Lethem for instance, that author is usually accepted as a genre author, even if he or she does not always publish in the genre.
		This division between genre and non-genre does not stem from some great philosophical impetus, but simply from how books are published and sold in the marketplace.

		Like I say, the game could be accused of never straying from the path of the original in terms of play styles, however I would argue back that the fights in the Banshees are now more comparable to aerial dogfights than the rather clumsy way they went in the original.
		The lack of missions, and the fact it hasn't taken me long to complete the game on normal, could also be cited, but as with the first title, we have Legendary difficulty, which is exactly what it says on the tin.
		However, Co-op does add some life to the game once you are done with the single player.

		The law may be aimed at the "kill the infidel" brigade (I have my doubts) but that means other remarks which disparage and insult the muslim faith will be illegal and to just assume 'people like us' (as opposed to 'them') will not have the law enforced against them is preposterous.

		Maybe it has, maybe the company's ad agency picked up a phrase that was already embedded, but that's not my impression.
		Anyway, the point is, something that really pisses me off is the obverse of that, when the product does not do what it says on the tin.
