Happy 18th birthday to my kettle....

[betty swollocks]

Happy 18th Birthday to Faithful, my kettle. Bought this day, er 18 years ago from Comet warehouse, it’s in its element, or rather, its element is in it, when heating water for my morning coffee.

I’ll give it its first de-scaling this evening, as a special birthday treat.

Ps. If any of my CC chums wish to use this thread to pay tribute, to their much-maligned, under appreciated, or sadly neglected electrical appliances, they are very welcome to do so.

I think you should stop spouting on about it.

My microwave was 10 just before Christmas, and I didn't even remember to get it a card.

Now that's something to get steamed up about.

Happy birthday kettle!

My tumble drier is 15 years old though it takes 2 hours to dry stuff now rather than the 60 mins it used to take!

I'd like to pay tribute to my faithful old Psion Organiser LZ64. 26 years old this year and still going strong keeping my life in order for me.

Alas, the end may be near as synching it to a Windows pc was challenging but possible, albeit with various drivers and serial-USB interfaces. Sadly Windows 10 seems a bit much for it and if I can't suss it soon I may have to go for something more modern, like an early 00's Palm Pilot.

Must be in a soft water area!

My Mum & Dads Hitachi TV is 33 years old - faultless. Wouldn't boil water though.

Valves not hot enough?

I'm very much assuming you live in a soft water area......especially if this is its first descaling....either that or you can only get a cup of water in it now....
