You brits...

How do you boil water? I'm reminded of the classic complaint "he doesn't even know how to boil water". *grins some more at the silliness*

Although, honestly, I hope youse guys never lose power over there. You'd be helpless. Apparently.

Edit: Actually, this reminds me of the time I slept over at Lizziey's and made pancakes. All the time, Kassondra (whose name I never can spell) was going on and on about not having pancake mix and I was just grabbing the flour and salt and baking soda and whatnot.

I use an electric jug kettle. When the power went out, we put a saucepan on the gas hob. I have a whistle kettle but the whistle irritates me. My mother has an electric kettle that doesn't turn itself off. It's not broken, just how it was made. Sort of defeats the object really, in my mind.

I have a friend and her daughter wouldn't believe you could make pancakes or Yorkshire puddings from anything other than the packet mix. I mean, flour is pretty cheap if you buy own brand (23p) add the rest of the stuff, it's still cheaper than the 90p+ that you pay for the packet mix. And you still have to add an egg and milk to the packet. Doh.
