Kettles..
So she bought one of those Tefal instant boilers that plug into the mains - it doesn't get the water hot enough for my taste, and how on earth am I supposed to fill the teapot with it?
My old trusty kettle, purchased for ten shillings back in erm 1970 something from the Army & Navy Store. I've been using this kettle for 30 years and taken it all around the world! it's like losing an old friend....

and she won't let me get any coal for the fire either, 'cos I fall asleep and leave the fireguard off. Bah!
