Water bottles

Just heard report on radio Manchester saying there’s been an increase in accidents with bottles bursting.
Life span is max 3 years.
Chuck on the tip
next to mine which is ancient.

Most hot water bottles will have a big number embossed into them inside a symbol that resembles a daisy. This number shows you the year that it was made, so for example, 15 would mean 2015, and 20 would be 2020.

Yes...very dangerous...they do perish
....over 3 yrs old...Bin them...not worth the horrific burns they cause.

The oven shelf won't burst..

I remember going on holiday when I was approximately seven year’s old. It was to a holiday camp. The accommodation was very basic wooden huts cold at night. Solution, boil large duck stones then wrap in towels to warm beds up.

Double post.

In the early fifties when i was a child we always had a brick warmed up in the fireside oven.

When I was young, we were so poor that we didn't have a fireside oven, so we had to take a cold brick to bed with us.
