'It looks great' I enthused 'are you pleased with it?
'Yes but I am not so keen on my new kettle,'
'Oh! why is that, it looks alright to me?'
'Well, it may look alright but it makes my tea tastes funny'

No more was said until five minutes later when I went to make a cup of tea. As the kettle boiled it bubbled up and overflowed despite being less than half full.
'That's strange' I thought.
Then as went to mop up the water, I caught a sweet smell of perfume; I tasted the water and was immediately hit with a soapy taste.
'Well we can't drink that, I'll throw it away and try the old kettle'
So I poured the water away and started to fill the kettle again and it was at this point I heard a faint hum; I looked down and noticed that a modern soap dispenser had been thoughtfully placed between the taps. The kind that automatically dispenses soap when a light sensor detects that your hands are underneath, so every time you put the kettle under the tap, a measure of liquid soap is dispensed into the water.
