in reply to Matthew Garrett • • •since I used to live in Northern England for a while and tried to buy one, I have a suspicion.
At least people (some) knew what I was talking about. They referred me to the German Christmas market in town. 😅

in reply to Matthew Garrett • • •Brit, have hot water bottle, but live in France. In winter my French wife never wants to bother but always steals it if I do install it.
Even though ours is French it proudly displays its British Standards Kite Mark.

in reply to Matthew Garrett • • •British, do not own a hot water bottle, but do own a wheat bag instead
…but I mostly use it for easing stiff/knotted muscles, rather than keeping out the cold

in reply to Matthew Garrett • • •American, and my hot water bottle is the only thing that gets my poor feet through winter every year.
I should, perhaps, note that I grew up in Germany, which is how I came to be in possession of said vital implement.

in reply to Matthew Garrett • • •I'm in the UK and I definitely own one. Mine recently started leaking and I replaced it the same day!
I don't use it for bed, as I have an electric blanket. I mostly use it for snuggling up of a long winter evening. I also find it very soothing when my back is sore.
