BRILLIANT idea. 

 

COMPLETELY USELESS in practice.

 

I've managed to cope with it for a few months because i love gadgetry, but really anyone who wasnt into gadgets would have given uplong ago - and now I have.  Lockups.  incorrect recordings.  crashes.  Suddenly jumping to the start of recordings from the middle.

 

I'm sending it back.  DO NOT buy this product. 

From today's Independent -  http://environment.independent.co.uk/climate_change/article2901009.ece 

 

"Britain is just a few showers away from recording a record wet summer, at the climax of the most remarkable period of broken weather records in the country's history. All of the smashed records are to do with temperature and rainfall - the two aspects of the climate most likely to be intensified by the advent of global warming. "

 

I read this article, written by Mia Farrow, over my lunch, and suddenly all my worries seemed terribly, terribly trivial.

I urge you to read this. 

I bought a Tefal QuickCup yesterday.  The future is here!   Instant filtered hot water at the press of a button.  A hot cup of tea in under 30 seconds.  No more waiting for the kettle to boil!  Absolutely superb.  Its a bit noisy, a bit expensive and the water's not at boiling point but apart from that, its completely genius and my Kettle has just become completely redundant and looks very old fashioned all of a sudden!
