   Good post, thanks.   
      
   WIWAL, in England, we had "on demand" gas water heaters above the   
   kitchen sinks; we called them Calor heaters, after the fashion of Brits   
   to name things after the most popular brand, or the famous person who   
   first used the thing.   
      
   These heaters were incredibly efficient, and reasonably dangerous,   
   because they delivered boiling water instantaneously. I've never seen   
   one in North America, but I reckon they exist somewhere.   
      
   The Brits also have eye-level grills on their stoves, so you don't have   
   to crouch down (or worse, get down on your hands and knees) to see   
   what's happening to your au gratin thingie.   
      
   The Brits are now selling appliances that actually come with a plug.
