Oh dear – the aggravation of being a designer still has influence – needed a new kettle, went to John Lewis. Just want a kettle shaped recognisable kettle, but no – they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and finishes. Chose the most kettle shape available – BUT – it has windows in the sides so you can see how much water you put in – this was a source of consternation at Potts Towers, very disturbing! But Hurray!! We got to grips with it and even accepted it – whew, this would not have happened a few years ago.
