Although not a Brit, I am a tea-a-holic as evidenced by the stash of British tea in my cabinet. I use a kettle on the stove, and I would agree that this is a crisis of huge proportions.~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00415752419183289222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-2888008163194877932008-10-07T16:06:00.000-05:002008-10-07T16:06:00.000-05:00Hello from a Brit girl who nearly was in the USA ... my husband is from Boston. I've never seen a kettle with a US plug on it - it's a happy sight. My US relatives boil water for tea on the hob or in the microwave (shudder). Hope your new ones arrives soon.<BR/><BR/>And p.s.
