Re: Which kettle?

["paul gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

I "believe" (IIRC) that the device I'm thinking of, boils on
demand,
straight from the supply pipe going up to your sink taps, rather than from
a
resevoir. Also, I seem to recall it distinctly said the water produced was
"boiling" as opposed to just "hot" - I'm not sure if
I've still got the
leaflet though, (and if so, even less sure where I'd find it!!)
