Dennis is an addict Geoff. As soon as he gets a low he needs a fix.

Are you trying to prove you are really stupid?

I think you are just a rabid glue addict who will lie about anything to
justify your harm to others.
You are typical of people with glue abuse problems and will stop at nothing
to get your fix.

And a refusal to face the truth of his addiction

I hope you meant to write "moults" but maybe you didn't ... I had a
dog like that once ;-)

Don't have a tv in the kitchen, and the one in the sittingroom is
never left on standby! (I'm Scottish, what do you expect?)

Amuses me, the radio ads saying the average Scottish family wastes
£410 on throwing out perfectly good food every year.

I don't spend that on food in a year.

Excuse me for asking, but are you (a) very skinny, (b) very mean or (c) very
skint?

We live in a very hard water area and the kettle scales up very very
quickly, I have always used de scaler tablets or powder to de scale
the kettle however I was wondering if there was another way of doing
it as the price of de scaler is working out to be quite expensive.

I have Googled it and most people suggest vinegar, bicarbonate of soda
or lemon juice, somehow I don't have any faith in those things.

Why bother? Doesn't seem to affect the working of the kettle or its life.

Just over a pound a day on food? I'm not coming round to yours for a meal.

It affects both - scale is a significant insulator so you'll increase
both time to boil and the operating temperature of the element.

By the amounts talked about in costs for descaling?

Think you guys believe the Calgon ads too...

Surely the extra insulation on the body reduces heat loss? And where does
the energy from the element go if not into heating the water?

It has to go into the water and won't affect the boiling time (as long as
scale thickness water dimensions). It will increase the internal element
temperature though, which isn't good.

In a 'traditional' immersed element, yes. But in a more modern flat
element? Surely (some of) it can go through the bottom of the kettle.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Sorry, yes, absolutely. What I said only applies for a fully immersed
element. Ones in the base are rubbish from this point of view. They are
better overall for efficiency though, as they allow the boiling of only the
water you need and the benefit from this (if used properly) would far
outweigh the advantages of being fully immersed.

Go live in Hull, then time your time to a cup of tea both before and
after descaling.

If you're good, we might let you out of Hull afterwards 8-)

Yes and yes.

In which order?
