Get a Coronation Street tea cosy and, er, help save the planet

Comments (3)

CorrieTeaCosy.jpgGrannies Inc has teamed up with energy company npower to produce a range of cosies designed to encourage our great nation to make tea in a pot rather than mugs.

The idea - of course - is to reduce the number of times we boil our kettles and hence the amount of household energy we use.

Themed to some of our favourite TV shows, various designs are available. Just pop one of these over your pot and do a little something for the environment while enjoying a cup of the good stuff.

Pictured is the 'Lancashire Hot Pot' Coronation Street cosy which is available online at granniesinc.co.uk/cosies.htm for £45. Alternatively there's a Dalek tea cosy, called Dalekjeeling of course. You can also download patterns to knit it yourself.

  • Hah, I've never thought about how much energy either uses. But a kettle does make me feel more at home than the coffee pot. That feeling will never change.

  • This is a good idea in principle but I have 2 problems with it - this is actively promoting Corrie which isn't particularly trendy (although maybe right-on the target market) and secondly its pretty rare these days for anyone to have an actual teapot. I use a teabag in a mug like most people i know!

  • Definitely another green idea. I hope this might be helpful to all of us in saving energy.
