Ode To Our New Kettle.

 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

Our new Silvercrest Kettle.


A poem for JayCee in celebration of her new kettle purchase.

  1. Oh, a mighty fine kettle for sure
    To boil Irish water so pure
    My new one is only a Salter
    But I hope it will do what it oughter

  3. What 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.
    Hey 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

  4. 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

    1. Sometimes I go to Waitrose and put my shopping in Lidl bags. I don't want anybody thinking I'm posh.

    4. Ha,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!

  9. One line short of a Limerick. How about, 'And I intend to fill it with piddle'. Ok, not the best, I grant you.
