weightlifting is my new favourite sport.

i shouldn't think i could snatch lift more than about 30kg and even that is probably pushing it. these midgets are lifting 150kg!

No, you'll laugh at me ... it's just a kettle..... and I'm guessing you have to turn the electric ring on and sit the kettle on top. However, I'm petrified it's some expensive thing with its own base elsewhere.... and maybe he just placed it on the hob top once boiled....

It's like an old-fashioned whistler.

I won't laugh at you. I panic about things like that too when they don't belong to me.

In fact, I've owned a percolator for over two weeks and I've done nowt but look at it

I think it's a Morphy Richard Accents..... no name on it, I was googling images.

Except the handle's a bit different - and it's got a "whistler" over the spout.... which I worked out you take off to pour water out.

Doesn't michaels have one of those? Or did he just buy it and return it?

... oh - and the "help yourself to coffee" here isn't my usual Aldi tipple... oh no. It's instant... it's only Nescafe.... but it's http://www.nescafe.co.uk/product_details_en_co_uk.axcms?Id=561

Can't use that..... it's expensive. I'll go get my Aldi jar out of the car in a bit.

Even if I kept stalker notes... I doubt they'd be as detailed as kettle purchases

They probably never eat complex carbs

My guess is fill up, put on base, click switch down.

If it has a whistler then it must be a hob top one. The whistle lets you know it's boiled on a hob, whereas an electric one will turn itself. Show us a picture, to be sure

Edit: alessi make electric traditional style kettles now, with whistlers. Wall.
