minus-squareGBU_28@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-27 months agoBritain, do you really want to compare appliances? I could put most of your fridges in my fridge. I could put the whole bayuex tapestry in my washing machine. I don’t even know if y’all can fit scrooge’s Christmas bird in your ovens. I’m kidding around but the one thing y’all definitely have is better kettles that’s for damn sure.
