put the kettle on, love
You're right, it's all a bit petty in the greater scheme of things, though as a Brit, tea takes on greater significance than is necessarily healthy.
Anyhow, to the point: studies I have done (as in, me asking my family and friends) suggest that electric kettles get popped back on with far greater frequency than kettles on the stove. People turn the electric kettle on, forget to make the cup of tea immediately, then turn it on again to re-boil the water. This would seem to negate the saving made by kettles, and takes me back to my first comment of the petty-ness of it all...On Umbra on boiling water for tea posted 2 years, 8 months ago 23 Responses
