NLUK microwaves the water that goes in the pot noddle. He's a tight Northerner, he's heard this will save him 1p

Well he's wrong there then: 70% efficient at converting input energy into heat, compared with an electric kettle:at 80% (how the feck is it that low? the water is in direct contact with the element).

Ah, but you're assuming you're heating the same amount of water. With a microwave, you're only heating the water you need (a cup full) but in a kettle you're always boiling more water than you actually need.

That's a luxury in our house. Hot water for the pot noodles is only for family Sunday lunch on the last Sunday of the month. Rest of time it's straight out the tap...cold tap.

You have splashed out on a tap? Wow you've really hit the big time. Does it draw from the bath water that you all share once a month?

That won't flow through a tap, they use a shovel for the bath "water".

Didn't say it was my tap. We have some posh people on the row with their very own outside tap. Beat's using rainwater overflow.
