What do you think people take for granted?

Anyone who’s been abroad and wants to make themselves a cuppa will reflect on the beauty of having a kettle, rather than the saucepan provided in rooms

The beauty of nature - and the fact that it’s free. You just have to open your eyes and really see it.

It’s not the fact that nature is free Sheba, it’s the fact that everything else is so expensive…

Take a little travel kettle .
I always do just in case and have found it very useful .
Not every foreign hotel / ferry provides them although I have yet to see a saucepan .
Are you sure that it’s not for washing purposes :slight_smile:

I assume you don’t mean that I stand in the kitchen area sink and pour water over my head? :wink:

Anyway, nope. There are cups and mugs in the cupboards, hot (washing) water from the taps, and a few pans around. But no kettle (neither hob top nor electric)

@Dextrous63 , You must be in Greece then ?
Koz the Greeks don’t even have a word for gas cooker !!
Let alone electric kettle !?
Excuse the Koz bit !

We are just back from Turkey. We had an electric kettle, hotplate and pans in our room.

Ooh. There’s progress!!

On the subject of Greece, we take for granted that we can flush loo paper down the pan, unlike in Greece!!

You certainly knew when it was time to brew up with one of these… very shrill!

Funnily enough our house in France has a kettle, bought from a French supermarket. Same with the toaster. These are very common items in Europe.
