Eco-kettle
I seem to have one.
It's a standard Sainsbury lime green one, and works fine.
Except that it no longer makes any noise when boiling. Which is odd.
Perhaps it's happy now converting my leccy into heat and kinetic energy and not wasting it as sound? Or maybe French leccy is better than UK leccy?

May stop playing God Save the Queen or Jerusalem at full blast on your record player and you'll be able to hear it again!
Interesting that you buy a kettle in the UK and take it to France rather than buying one there and contributing to the local economy
Tell me again why the French are so happy that you inflate their property prices?

You've lost me? Or are you trying to say I'm a little Englander?
Well, quite apart from it being none of your freaking business, it was the old one from home when she fell out with the colour...and sixteen years ago, kettles were pretty rare in France.
As far as supporting the local economy goes, €234+ per MONTH in taxes and insurance, and that's before I've bought any food, (local), fuel, firewood, paid for my bins to be emptied, paid for my water, leccy, gas, etc etc.
In October we have a French builder coming to re-roof the older part of the house.
Inflate their property prices? LOL Just shows the shallow depth of your knowledge of rural France. If I hadn't bought this place, or some other English/Dutch person, the old guy's pension pot would have been much slimmer. So I guess he's pretty pleased. The local shopkeepers seem to be, and the locals DO NOT BUY old property in need of doing up. They want new build or ones that conform to all the new electrical/plumbing/insulation/damp-proofing norms. Not a 300 year old stone built ex farm house. But they DO want to offload their older houses...which is where I came in.
Stop being so awkward and trying to score off me just because you lost...LOL
