We bought it for just 25 Euros in Lidl.
Picked it up in the 'specials' aisle in the middle.
It really is in fine fettle

ReplyDeleteTo boil Irish water so pure
My new one is only a Salter
But I hope it will do what it oughter
Hey JayCee that rhymes send it to The Times!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "specials aisle"? Are you trying to be posh now you have got a fancy new kettle? It is called "Middle of Lidl" because it rhymes and that's how all Lidlites refer to it.
ReplyDeleteHey diddle diddle
At middle of Lidl
You can get a bargain or two
A fancy new kettle
A wok made of metal
And scent bombs to flush down the loo
Are you here all week? When we lived in that posh village next to Manchester Airport we shopped in Lidl in Wilmslow. We would see people putting their salads and other shopping into Sainsbury carrier bags. True story Mr Pudding
ReplyDeleteSometimes I go to Waitrose and put my shopping in Lidl bags. I don't want anybody thinking I'm posh.
DeleteYou never see an advert saying we stopped shopping in Lidl and now shop in Tesco do you?
Delete"I stopped shopping in Lidl and now I'm a shoplifter."
DeleteHa,ha. I get confused when you go in big shops like John Lewis and one notice says "Push" so you push. Then it says 'Pull" so you pull. Then when it says "" Lift" I lift and trap my fingers!
DeleteAs I said to JC
ReplyDeletea new kettle is a thing of beauty.
Will you publish
If I don't rhyme?
Of course LA. Kettle is Citeal in Irish apparently.
ReplyDeleteTwo posts on two kettles! I hope the fettle over metal kettles settles!
ReplyDeleteGood one Debby. We grasped the nettle and bought that kettle!
ReplyDeleteOne line short of a Limerick. How about, 'And I intend to fill it with piddle'. Ok, not the best, I grant you.
ReplyDeleteAt least you made us laugh Tom. There's some good Poets on here.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice enough, but does it work well and does it hold enough water for more than two mugs full.
ReplyDeleteIt holds more than 2 mugs River.
