I use a normal kettle, a Bosch which I've had since September 2015  ! you can choose the temperature and there's a keep warm button.   It won't shorten trousers though   😎

Blowing a gale here this morning but lovely and sunny.

I usually have 4 or 5 hours, sometimes six.   

The billionaire gave Nigel Farage an unconditional personal gift for security, not politics.   At the time Farage had stepped away from public life entirely. Same billionaire also donated 12 million pounds to the Reform coffers.

They know their 5 mins of fame is short lived .. so they work harder at lining their own pockets..
Meanwhile the country goes to pot.. I doubt they really care..

That is only too true.
Plus, their cheap meals and booze in the HoC.

I can easily nod off watching the tv in the afternoon.
I usually get around 7 hours .. but I do wake at intervals..
