I'm not sure why you are comparing it to a hot water cylinder...

Then you've missed the whole point.  Not just mine, but most of the one in the OP.

 

Ok, you crack on then buttercup....

Only boil what you need.  If that's significantly less than the minimum mark in your kettle then consider using the microwave instead.

(may not be the consensus though)

Boil exactly what you need, no more. Boil more than that and you're wasting energy, no matter how many tea cosies you put on your kettle.

Anyone who tells you different wasn't paying attention in their physics lessons

Or was a grade 'A' physics student and an engineer, or something like that.

Standards must have slipped in recent years...

My kettle has a water level guage on one side only.
To read it while filling i have to hold it with my right hand
then use left arm going over right arm to turn tap.

Maybe because of that i fill or half fill. Hadnt really thought about it before.

So for those who do fill for whatever reason it makes sense. Good idea @maxmycardagain 

But finding a kettle cosy in Google is not comeing up with much.

Maybe @maxmycardagain will be appearing on Dragons' Den in the near future.

Maybe Saves people like jvjack fit and healthy to lift left arm over right arm
Now one time instead of 10.

It would be an episode not to miss.  I also think "Kettle cardagain™" could be a suitable product/brand name.
