Kettle with Unexpected Feature

vyle

Oh but then you run the risk of him being like my dog and getting too clever.

He may be blind and deaf, but he knows that if i've gone to my parents' for dinner, as soon as dinner is over, he goes for a walk.

then when he gets back, I go home, which means he gets to ride in the car.

therefore, as soon as dinner is over, he's barking at shoes, then at his lead.

and as soon as he's back from his walk, he goes and moans at me until I leave.

He wakes up sharp at 6am every morning expecting his breakfast, then at 7 (when he used to have eye drops) he demands his eye drops, so he can get some cucumber as a reward.

He has my mum well trained, because she ends up pretending to give him eye drops to play into his demands.

He knows what symbolises food, exactly when it happens, and he's a ruthless task master.

I honestly don't know but i must admit your complaint make me laugh.

I have great sympathy with the OP.
I, once, (when everything seemed to be happening at the same time) took a half cooked loaf out of the breadmaker only to discover that the "beeping" noise was actually the washing machine telling me that I had left the door open

Some years ago I had a paging device that sounded identical to the green man alert at a pelican crossing. On more than one occasion had absent minded people start to cross when it went off................

We had a kettle that beeped at work... Used to drive my colleagues crazy too... It was so loud I could hear it 2 closed doors away..

Thankfully they got rid of it and bought in a nice quiet kettle that didn't scare everyone into thinking something was on fire :rotfl:

Why the hell would anyone spend £48 on a kettle. You only want it to boil water, not be a substitute for disco lights.

We have a Patterdale Terrier and a Cocker Spaniel.

The Patterdale loves to leap on those 'air pillows' that they use in packaging now (and bubblewrap is also one of his favourites) and make them go BANG!

He is so keen to get at them, he tries to get into a parcel when you open it!!

The Cocker, on the other hand, is so terrified of the noise that those 'pillows' make and the 'pop' from bubble wrap, that she runs and hides on the stairs at the slightest hint of them!!!!

We just bought a Philips HD4646 which is a bog standard 360 degree plain plastic kettle. Beepless/lightless/gimmick free and on offer at Comet right now for under £20. Just in case anyone's looking.

My dog would hate the beep too. Vyle, I love your dog

Like i said, it was heavily discounted. We didn't pay anywhere near £48.

I thought in a free society it was up to individuals what they spent their money on?
