    My Australian friend thought I was a complete barbarian for heating water for tea on the stove in a pot

      That at least has the weight of tradition behind it.

      Wait, you do mean a stove kettle, don’t you? You don’t mean just a normal vegetables pot? You can’t mean that, surely?

        I do mean just a saucepan with some water in it. I ended up getting an electric kettle…
