Nail polish remover 
I think it's supposed to be acetone free... or maybe it's with acetone... It's sticky roulette!

It takes a bit of time, but very slowly and carefully peel the label off then use the sticky on the peeled label to dab what's left and 'pick up' 
The rest can be removed when you wash the item

I do that Nuts,,pick pick slowly with my nail but most times it just will not come away in one piece .M&S are the worst I find,the adhesive they use is a step down from superglue imo.
Oh right, I don't seem to have any problem

When companies ring YOU and then want to know every detail about you before they will speak to you, Virgin Media are the worst, who do they think is answering my land line and are willing to talk about my bill other than me

I never have any problem Jackson. Just tap and break round the middle and you should be able to peel. I can normally get half a shell off in one.
Roll, Dip & Slip Tip
Cook eggs and cool in cold water. Crack the egg shell at each end by tapping the egg onto the counter. Be sure to crush the air bubble at the large end of the egg. Place the egg on its side on the counter and roll forward for one full turn keeping the palm of your hand firmly down on the top of the egg. Place the egg into a bowl of warm water. The entire shell will slip right off.

That's how I do it.
I should have got here a bit earlier, huh? 
If you do nothing else, then CRACK both ends as soon as you've boiled them to the required soft/hardness. They peel fine after that.

^^^^^ Mr Woo deep fries Mars bars for the kids in the village (no charge) if they bring them in to him - it was all the rage at one time but a rare occurence these days. I have never, ever been tempted to try one.

Butter (or marge I suppose) works a treat, I found it out by accident, it totally melts the sticky residue away, try it it's amazing.
Remembered another annoyance this morning - when they give you your change in a shop and they go receipt, notes then coins on top and the coins are sliding around and you have to sort of funnel them down into your purse and hope you don't drop them all over the floor
