many rangetops in the us are electric
if a person uses the element in the rangetop,
or the element dedicated to the kettle
it's still electricity
if a person uses a gas range, or a woodstove, or the concentrated light from a magnifying glass to heat the kettle
the heat is still measured in btu
british thermal units

even tho we americans are MUCH better at utilizing ...[text shortened]... ship,
the british to retain the title

you may thank me and i will pass along the congratulations

The good old British Thermal Unit is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

Why are foreign measuring units employed to describe a British function?

Every evening my mother uses her electric foot spa. She literally stands in a tub of water before plugging it into the mains.

The world has gone crazy. At night, I put our electric kettle out into the garden.

If the badgers have a brew in the night are you responsible? Is it at their own risk?

A kettle only lasts for so long torunn, or are you trying to say something else? 🙂

Badgers don't have opposable thumbs.

Pretty irresponsible to trust them with a kettle then.

I’d have liked a third option of ‘reheat your neglected cuppa in the microwave’ but generally speaking I heat water in the kettle. I don’t like the weird half bubbles you get if you heat water in the microwave.
