what‘s a hot water bottle? A vacuum flask to take hot coffee to work or other places?
in reply to Matthew Garrett

if you want to take my family as a test case, the three Californians living in Britain all have them, the Brit does not
in reply to Matthew Garrett

I answered British + Water Bottle because despite being US; my mum is British, so I grew up with one in the house (and then got my own) and I think that's more in line with the intent of your question.
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

USian. I don't have one as an adult myself but grew up with one.

I live in America, so I guess I count as an American. I do not own a hot water bottle as such, but I do own a bunch of electric cat blankets which I have stolen and put in my bed by my feet where a HWB would go.
in reply to Matthew Garrett

British, don't own a hot water bottle. But damnit, if I ever get some spare cash I'll be getting one rather than have another winter of cold feet.
in reply to Matthew Garrett

my wife is a big electric blanket fan but I find that even in the coldest of weathers the bed warms up quickly with body heat
in reply to Matthew Garrett

Australians also have them, though how popular they are today I'm not sure (I know my parents generation had them, but I don't remember having them growing up, but also was in a more temperate location)

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

did have one but it perished and I never replaced it, which I think makes me a no
in reply to Matthew Garrett

As an American, I said no. However, my Chinese wife does own one.
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

British, own several hot water bottles, but I'm too tough and gnarly to use them. Bah!
in reply to Matthew Garrett

joking on a serious healthcare issue, pain management
@Matthew Garrett and this is why the US has an opiate crisis, and AFAIK the UK doesn't!
in reply to Matthew Garrett

I have a couple, but we're well into electric blanket season now so they won't be out the cupboard again until next year's unexpected cold snap.
in reply to Matthew Garrett

I said own a hot water bottle and I do but its stopper is knackered and so it's not actually operational. Hope that didn't mess up your stats 😝
