G6tanuki - I see you're in Wiltshire. My rellies in Corsham and Calne used to get through kettles like nobody's business (and where I grew up in Essex it was almost as bad). Here in Manc, there's no scale - I've used a K2 for nearly 30 years, and it was old when I got it. Still clean inside.
I really like your door knob. I appreciate a fantastic 'as new' restoration, but I'm more inclined to the baroque and eclectic (and free) myself
