I'm an Australian, so I know all about Billy cans (and also stealing sheep).

Mine is a beat up old thing with a suspect looking piece o' wire for a handle.

It mighta once had a lid.

I don't believe in these fancy russian-doll cookware systems with magic spoons & built in steamers.

It's great for cooking up some soup or wee pot of tea.

For the most part I cook meat & potatoes - neither of which require apparatus, so my needs are few

I have a somewhat smaller camping pot that looks like that.   I think it cost about US$15 instead of £15.
Never heard the term "Billy Can" for those  (somehow the term made me think of something for the other end of the cycle).
