Re: Which kettle?

["paul gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

EUREKA!

(sorry) - I've just remembered something I saw last year sometime:- Why
bother with boiling water in a kettle at all? (honestly, in this day &
age!!) - Why not just have boiling hot, drinking quality water permanently
on tap? (Isn't that what happens in the U.S?)

I remember seeing a glossy leaflet for some company that makes just such a
device, which is fitted under your sink, and has a small extra tap on top
(just like the many water filters available), except as well as being
filtered, in this case it is also boiling hot, ready for going straight
into
the teapot!

Just a thought!
