Have just bought a new Russell-Hobbs electric kettle, to replace their old 'Forgettle' of several decades vintage. The new one has a power lead about 16 inches long, and only one of the sockets in the kitchen is within this distance from the counter-top, and it's not the one I want to use. So I will have to add some sort of extension to get the socket close enough to the kettle for it to be useable. Is this Russell-Hobbs being cheap, or is it some self-defeating health and Safety thing?
