There are two kettles here. One is metal, the other plastic. They both still work although their elements are furred up with scale. The plastic one has the odd area where overheating has distorted and discoloured the plastic.
I am amazed that an OP concerning a faulty 9 quid kettle has generated so far 36 replies, many of them earnest in tone and some apparently concerned that cheap electrical goods are no longer mass-produced in this country. What's the matter with people? Capitalism is global and we are supposed to be too grand for that sort of work. You need a Ph D. to get a job flipping burgers where we come from Ali, geddit? Back to the carwash with you.
Tchah! But
