Yes you are right! We got issued with these new fangled Thermos Flasks a few
years ago, and I have two problems with it!
The first is trying to keep it upright on the hotplate, the diameter of the
securing clasps is just too great to tighten around it!
Then the damn thing takes for ever to boil! Once boiled the bloody water stays
hot enough to scald me mate three or four hours after
and several times................. oh dear!
