Do you use the hotel room kettle?

[crvenaeagle]

Age old debate and I've had a little scout over Reddit and some such but it got me thinking I'd not read any nonsense and depravity like I would if I posed the question on the Hol.

I've read anything from tradesmen using them as chamberpots to people depositing used rubbers in them, besides of course the urban myth (or is it?) of people cooking their dacks in there.

Generally I give it a scope first. There's a small dead fly and some other "bits" in my current one, while I stayed in one last month that had some short black curly hairs inside. That would make for a strange old brew indeed.

So do you, don't you?

Must be a small pair of daks to fit in a hotel kettle!
Don't use them because my missus always brings a travel kettle with her (she can't survive without tea so the prospect of there not being one available is a horror story for her).

Boil the kettle and sterilise it by throwing the initally boiled water away then good to go.

When we go abroad we usually stay in nice hotels, so I never give it a thought, but in this country in the premier inn and travel lodges you never know what chavs or piss heads have done to the room previous so I might be giving it some thought now it’s been mentioned 🤣

Sage advice 😁

Yes seems to be a common response but from somebody who has worked in the food industry and enjoys plenty of time in the back country I can advise two things;
Boiling something isn't a magical cure-all. Sterilisation of water needs a minimum of three minutes at 100°c.

Secondly this helps to purify the water only. If you're doing it in a dirty container then it's pointless.

that's what we have always done

Hopefully after chucking away any used condoms inside the kettle! 😏

Keep them. There may not be any milk.

Bit like kids you can stand your own but not other peoples.

Yes, I take a dump in them as soon as I arrive. It's become a bit of a ritual for me.

I fear if I no longer curl one out in the hotel kettle as soon as I arrive, I'll have bad luck for the remainder of the holiday.

Hotel Room ? i sleep in the back laneway cos its cleaner and i will be less likely to be robbed.

Reminds me of Baldrik making coffee in blackadder goes forth 🤣

Hopefully after getting to your room? Even Travelodge reception might raise an eyebrow otherwise.

Hold on, while I log this for future reference

I was hoping for more horror stories
