Anyone with a dull minute to pass could do worse than have a giggle at ScottishPower's endearing cartoon family of household appliances http://www.scottishpower.co.uk/About_Us/Meet_the_Appliances/
There is Kirk the Kettle for example who
easily gets frustrated with things and has to let off steam now and again. But once the other appliances calm him down, Kirk is in his element.
You get the picture.

If BERR gets its way of course they could soon be joined by Calamity the Clip-on Display who, one imagines, would very quickly become
ignored, sitting lonely in a dusty corner.
