Hi Nicey - saw the article in todays Telegraph and had visit the site. I believe we may have the equal of the ancient Russell Hobbs Forgettle - wedding present from my Great Aunt, in daily use until early this year since 1972! It has not broken, just having a rest. 20 years ago it did have a new element, and it had a new switch at some point so it is a bit like George Washingtons axe. Now have a new Russell Hobbs to go with our swanky new kitchen. We keep the old one in case the new one goes wrong. Love the site, will be a regular.
From Angie, a "Tea Cosy D.A." member. |
| Nicey replies: Yes its always easier to sleep soundly at night knowing you have a back up kettle in case the new fangled one goes wrong.

Hello - nicecupofteaandasitdown
You have got it all wrong!
Tea should ONLY be drunk in best china - cup or mug. Those awful heavy things like the one you are advertising now do not do justice to tea - or coffee for that matter, although its tolerable in them.
You try one cup of each - china mug and awful mug and taste the difference - no comparison!!
N.B. The ginger Nairns are gorgeous!
Thanks for the site

| Nicey replies: Ann,
Actually our mugs have been found to lovely in the extreme, perhaps you should get one just to make sure of your position. |

Dear Nicey,
Ever since a young lad I have had the habit of dipping marmite toast in tea, a bit like the french dipping criossants in coffee.
Am I the only person to do this?
Cheers

| Nicey replies: Quite possibly. |

Dear Nicey,
My wife has recent exchanged a perfectly serviceable model with a clear glass one with chrome fittings.
Not only do you have to remove the lid to fill it (unlike using the spout of our reliable old model) but it makes such a racket that the first time we used it I thought it was going to explode.
Also, as we live in hard water area, we have to spend countless amounts on kettle cleaners to remove the merest hint of lime scale.
All together wholly unsatisfactory.
Our old jug kettle also had a red ball to show water level, but unfortunate fell victim to lime scale. This never stopped us, though. We just developed a knack of lifting the kettle and testing its weight for the appropriate amount of water.
Not much of a party trick, but one nonetheless.

| Nicey replies: Yes Mrs B (nee Biscuit Enthusiast Mandy) has got one of those. Despite filtering our very hard water through a Brita Jug it still ends up looking like one of those liquid filled shaker snow storm things. I too have suffered with a jammed red ball on occasion. |

Waitrose Gold, Is this Lyons Red Label in disguise? Tastes like it.
