Nope. Plastic kettles. And the joints are all sound. They just start dribbling from the lip.

I wouldn’t mind if they were cheap kettles but they aren’t. They are so called ‘top brands’. I don’t drop them or crack them or anything. They are looked after carefully and lovingly.

But after a year or so, they just start to dribble.

Weird.

Damn you Robert! What I was going to say was:

‘Well, I was talking about limescale, but whatever you’re into … it is 2007 …’

Now to impart my sparkling comedic genius to other people.

Oh yes – limescale.

It’s hard water that causes that. I know all about that [I think it's the prostate playing up again].
