When i was at work before,a customer gave me and my boss a cuppa,i usually (when outside) flick the last bit of the drink out the cup while holding the handle.Anyway i did this and cup went flying and i was left red faced apologising to the customer while still having the handle in my hand lol lol

Boil some white vinegar in the kettle a few times, then rinse it out properly.

AHH but if the kettle has lasted that long its worth it, No point in skimping on a 99p special kettle to have it break in 5days

Or just keep on top of descaling your kettle or even just rinsing it out every so often, cant bodge when it comes to making tea lol
