Looking for a thermal jug (for hot water)

the_syco

Lo all,
Lookin for a thermal jug. Basically a teapot that can keep the heat for a long time.

But it has to have a opening that can be closed, so the Health & Safety Monkies here can't take it off me.

Any ideas? Also need it to have water for at least three mugs of water. At the moment, I put water into 2 carboard cups, bring it to desk, add tea (barrys classic; hate the sh|te that comes from the tea machine), sugar and milk. Would prefer to pop water into themal jug, add tea, and leave it turn to soup

Before someone says "thermal cup", nay. I have one staring at me. It's heavy. I know the milk in it probably has gone off a month ago, so I'm not opening it for a while. I leave it there to remnd me, on mayday, to get a thermal mug thing. Based near Dublin, so popping in tomorrow to get a Hellfest ticket, and look around for said thermal jug...

Try one of the Bodum teapots. They are normally good.

If it's gotta be kept warm for quite a while then consider getting yourself a decent Thermos flask from a camping store.

Went to Brown Thomas and saw some thermal jugs, but with a price of €80 to €120... so erm, no.

Walked over to Meadows and Byre, and found a great one for €40, but it was a litre size. Asked if they had any smaller ones, and was told they me that usually they have three different sizes, and hope to have some in in two weeks time. Liked the shape of it, but I'd only be using it for 2 or 3 cups of tea at a time, so it'd be overkill. Will be ringing the shop in two or three weeks to see if they have gotten any in yet.

/edit
Just after writing this, I found a small thermos flask that may suit me, so I'll see how that goes.
