Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Kettle's just died. Lid suddenly won't stay shut Literally, between cups of tea; Fukked. No worries. Had it donkeys years. Given me good service. Off to Amazon ..... I Know it's a totally impractical, childish fukking novelty. But, I'm the guy who finds frogs amusing and is thrilled by chickens walking up boards! Fukking live with it! Now, I fancy watching a mug of water getting hot in my kettle. Problem? Just wondering if anyone had anything dreadful to say about the things. Generic one. Score or so, like any other, basic, kettle. They alright? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 20,405 Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Sort of related...... I'm on an energy saving crusade at the moment, so, instead of boiling the kettle 10-15 times a day, I've bought one of those 3 litre air pump vacuum flasks. Fill it in the morning, lasts all day, plenty hot enough for coffee until bedtime Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm an absolute money waster in his eyes now... oh well at least I'm not have a luke warm cuppa for my last drink of the day...
