"Put the kettle on" is your reaction to absolutely everything; good, bad, or neutral.
City on fire? "Hang on a tick, I'll put the kettle on and we'll have a bloody good think about what we should do."
Someone announced their wedding? "Fantastic! I'll put the kettle on!"
Your wife is having her friends over? "I'll just put the kettle on and watch the telly."
Measured response to everything. That measure is usually either one or two sugars
Fucking love you guys!
