Normal idiocy
We don't have electric kettles here in Finland otherwise I would be putting it back into the fridge after use like I did in the UK.

Hei
I was skiing in Yllas only six weeks ago, and we had a lovely kettle in our log cabin.

Only for the tourists, eh?

Although my wife bought some cans of fruit for breakfast and we didn't have a can-opener. So she only went and brought them back to the UK.

Only to notice they had a ring-pull on them.

gas kettle
A friend of mine returned from east Africa, a place of unreliable electricy and therefore no electric kettles. Unplugged the kettle, filled it at the sink, lit the gas hob, and put it on to boil.
