 hy> Oh, is *that* why most of you 'mericans don't know what a Kettle is?!

Where I come from.. a kettle is something that you fill with water, and bang
on the stove, or another heat source to boil and 95% of the time has a
whistle on it so you know its boiled.

The leccy thing on the other hand is usually a Jug... with all the usual
leccy things going on, turns itself off.. in the days of my youth there was
the odd electric kettle around... The last one I saw was my grandmothers...
looked like a traditional kettle, with a whistle no less... I don't think it
actually turned itself off either, but... its got to be the better part 45
years or more since I saw it.
