I've just done some checks on my two workstations and my electric kettle. I figure over-filling our kettles costs the UK £183 million per year. How can we turn this figure in to WCG use?

Tell the bwits to buy a USB 2.0 Tea cosy [doubling as keyboard side coffee warmers]. The heating is slower, and never overshoots ;P).
