Travel kettle wanted
I want to buy a travel kettle that plugs into the car cigarette lighter socket. Anyone know where to get one here(Malaga - Marbella area) ? There are some on Amazon UK but what with postage and return if a problem, I'd rather buy here. Also, some seem to take 10-40 mins to boil, not much good if one is thirsty there and then!
Any thoughts welcomed.

I always resisted the temptation to buy one, and made do with one of those handy little calor gas stoves which do the job quickly and efficiently if set on a safe surface in a rest area or car park.
Can't advise you how well the travel kettles work, but I doubt if they will have anything like a typical 2 kw household element, to do the job as quickly as you would wish.
In any event I think they will likely drain quite a lot of power from an average car battery, and could possibly even leave you stranded if you overdo it.

Thanks, I was not aware of free postage, will have to buy something else to make up the amount in that case.

Re: Travel kettle wanted
most sevices sell them. they do take a while to boil, but the trick is to get the co-driver to organise it 10 mins before stopping.
