Just got this months fuel statement and noticed the very wide difference between gas (4.689p) and electric (14.434p) both per KWh; as a result I have just ordered a hob top kettle (wiv a whistle) hoping to see at least some saving.
Does anybody here still use a hob kettle? Do you notice any difference in time to boil? I would imagine on a gas hob there will be some excess heat "escaping" round the edges, compared to an electric where the heat is presumably more concentrated.
Also any tips on how to persuade a bloke in his 50s (son in law) that it is not necessary to fill a kettle to the brim every time, even if only for one cup/mug of tea or coffee?
