I just want a cup of tea woman!!!

Kettles! Ok, when is there officially enough water in a kettle to boil it up for a cup of tea? Is there a correct amount for just one cup? As you well know we Brits like a cuppa and the kettle is on and off all day. The quicker you want your tea the less water you need in the kettle so it doesn’t take so long to boil. Because of this constant use of the cheaper plastic kettles they don’t last longer than a year and eventually fuse somewhere. My mother’s kitchen across town is full of old plastic kettle in their boxes that should have been thrown away years ago. Women love buying new things to replace old things but they never throw the old things away! I think manufacturing heads clocked on to this in the 1970s and decided at the annual Bilderberg meeting that from now on in we will make everything out of plastic so it doesn’t last so women buy even more new things made from plastic. Before that stuff last forever, not good for business. They were right. As guys, of course, we are on to this and will try to make things last by trying to fix them. I will have the back off the kettle to make sure it’s something that I can’t fix before I bin it. Normally things that get near water eventually short out and it may only be a fuse. At least it’s a nice feeling for blokes when they fix a household item and so don’t have to by a new one. Anyhow, back to the kettle and its plimsoll line. Wives, moms and girlfriends will publicly nag their other halves or kids for boiling the kettle with not much water init but you can bet your mortgage they do the same when no one s looking. Has anyone really burnt a filament out if it’s above the water line? It’s not the Bloody China Syndrome! But women nag like crazy when there is not much water in the kettle. It’s like when they knock an ornament off the shelf and guys just ignore the crash and don’t make a comment, even if it’s one of those sports trophies we still proudly display that are guys last remaining trinket of the male ego in the mid life years. But God forbid if man knocks something off the shelf. You are a clumsy so and so and all the rest of the abuse. Men learn very quickly in a relationship that women can pretty much do anything wrong in that relationship but men cant. In fact I would go as far as to say that they want men to do all the hard stuff around the house so they can wind you up if you mess it up, forgetting the fact they can’t do it! https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/lifestyle/2017/03/03/here-are-some-13-reasons-why-some-women-n
