Alright... since this is the place to ask a question like this, I have a lot of you guys that would know here, and I didn't see this question in the last 6 pages... I have heard that at tea time, to account for all the extra power being used from everyone putting the kettle on at once, that the power companies have to actually boost the power output at that time to keep up with the huge increase in demand and keep from knocking out the grid or people losing power. Is that for real? Like... is that a real thing? I genuinely don't know wether to believe that or not.
I have never seen a Krispy Kreme machines in my life so that might be a British thing. Also if you ever go to America go to a Texas Road House now that is good food.
How about a LGBT L-ettuce G-uacamole B-acon T-omato It's also something about gays or some shit like that.
Not where I live in the countryside. Though that might be purely because there aren't any ASDA carparks lying around.
It's both real and urban legend. Yes at tea time power companies have to try and output more. However, it's not because of kettles, it's the same in the USA and all of Europe. Tea time, people tend to cook. Electric ovens are power hungry, electric stoves are power hungry, microwaves are power hungry. People often get home from work and stick the TV on, computers to surf web etc. So yes this time of day does have on average higher power consumption, but it's not a uniquely British thing or because of kettles specifically --- Post updated --- Yes and no. There's a congregation that gathers for worship of corsa in the Riverside carpark in my town, but we do not have an Asda for them to make pilgrimage to
You can tell this picture is old as most cars are MK1 Ford Focuses( ) and there are still Ford Escorts.
