I thought this one was also to do with their power being on a lower voltage so Kettles take longer?

But it's still super weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Our preferential voting also helps to drag the main parties towards the middle too. But that seems unlikely to ever get in over there since it'd allow more than two parties

It's my favourite movie but people either seem to love or hate it.

Started reading the book afterwards but didn't make it through the second half of the post apocalypse future story.

Usually recommend it to people since very few have seen it
