DIY disasters
I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Earthless kettles
The lack of earth is fine as the kettle was undoubtedly one of those cheap plastic jobs where everything is double insulated and nothing, short of major physical damage (which would render the kettle leaky and useless), would expose any conductive parts.
You don't expect these safety/test bods to have any common sense or real knowledge of what they're doing do you?
