A mum who bought her kettle back in 2001 has been left astonished by its durability, with the appliance still boiling away to this day.
Jodine Milne-Reader says her sturdy Russell Hobbs kettle has seen her through many key moments in life, including the arrival of her two children.
She and her husband have lived in three different homes during that time, including one they built themselves, and yet the kettle is still going strong, bubbling away through the appointment of seven UK Prime Ministers during its three-decade lifespan, as well as the coronation of a new monarch.
