Welcome to the Love to our sponsored by Cook 100 degree boiling hot water straight from your kitchen tap.

Tea on tap. It's good for the environment too as it uses the vacuum to keep the water hot.

Absolutely no idea how that works. But it means you don't have to constantly reheat the water. So it's great for the

environment. For more information, go to cooker.co.ukuk.com. UK, today's Lovejoy Hour. It's a bit

different, but I loved it. And I hope you enjoy it too. This hour, I'm curious about Raging Ball,
