Yes i know . . .

but

if i wanted to use my UK 240v kettle in Canada - apart from adaptor for the pins
i think it ill owrk but be slower than it is here due to voltage drop

anyone comment ?

also if i'm right , 110v kettles will be slower so my cup of T will
take longer ?

Is your kettle designed for centigrade or fahrenheit?

Aviator

or Kelvin maybe?

Steve_P

Klein?

Designer kettle.

I know what you mean. Kettles are bloody expensive here - for instance, those rip off merchants at london drugs charge a shocking $20 for them. At that price, you're better off shipping your kettle over and waiting twice as long for your cup of tea.

I hate absolutism.

Steve_P

Oh...I wouldn't be too sure of that.

You certainly seem absolutely opposed to the oil sands.

Novocastrian

Only relatively speaking.

Is it an oil fueled kettle?

R I C H

Nobody likes an oily beach Steve. Look at the effort BP are going to to prevent it.

Washing the oil out of Alberta's sand can only be a good thing for the toruist industry.

Steve_P

It would depend on where the kettle was plugged in.
Although personally I don't know of any oil fired electricity generating plants.

Maybe down east?

Alan2005

"down east"? that's a very peculiar expression.

R I C H

Doesn't everyone look down on the east?

Before this thread spins off into completely uncharted parts of the universe, I think we should thank the OP for a perfect Friday afternoon nonsense opportunity.

Steve_P

Must be a Canadianism I've picked up somewhere...my god how could that be?

Steve_P

Agreed...thank you OP.
