With the Met Office issuing yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across parts of the UK, Brits have been trying various things to keep warm. Freezing temperatures across the country have meant that people have been buying hot water bottles to keep toasty at home – so much so they are selling out.
John Lewis has said sales are up sixfold on last year, with several popular models out of stock online. A spokeswoman for the department store told The Guardian : "Hot water bottles have been in very strong demand during the cold snap. Given their current popularity, we recommend customers to purchase soon to avoid disappointment."
