The last toaster I bought was a cheap one and has lasted longer than any of the expensive ones recently. And my current kettle cost £5 from a charity shop because I'm fed up paying more than I need to when they just don't last. I have a feeling that Aldi or Lidl are selling stove top kettles just now.SusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-25285826206438987772020-01-29T09:17:25.326+00:002020-01-29T09:17:25.326+00:00I don't think we've used a stove-top kettl...I don't think we've used a stove-top kettle for 50years or more in my family (except for when we've been camping) Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-45169569838160210212020-01-29T09:16:21.035+00:002020-01-29T09:16:21.035+00:00"crude, thin, cheap, rubbish plastic" - ..."crude, thin, cheap, rubbish plastic" - your phrase sums it up very neatly. So many of the world's environmental problems seem to have have been caused by people choosing to use CTCRP instead of durable, natural materials.

I...I'm sorry your kettle quit working, Angela. I have a whistling kettle that I've had for years, but, it is not electric. I set it on top of the stove and boil water in it. But, if I want only a little water to make a cup of tea, I boil it in small saucepan I use just for the purpose. It was given to me back in 1976, by a friend and it wasn't new when she gave it to me. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-1855632806571782132020-01-29T08:08:37.800+00:002020-01-29T08:08:37.800+00:00I do agree that lots of things aren't lasting ...I do agree that lots of things aren't lasting like they used to. I am trying to work out how long we have had this kettle-I'm pretty sure it came from my childhood home so it is at least 7years (if not more) if so. We've had a few toasters go in that time-but all of them have been inherited from CBC's mum or Dad. The knobs on our towel rails are these crude, thin, cheap rubbish plastic things covered in silver paint to look classy & they were already cracked when we bought the house, meaning they were only 2-3 years old. We can't find replacements.Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.com
