I did think about buying a cheapo kettle just for the lead (I could
put the kettle in my decorating box for brewups g) cbut they are all
hard wired or on power bases these days?

Kettle leads used to be easy to find in blister packs in supermarkets,
I guess your line above explains why not so now nowadays.

Yeah, I swore I saw such too .. ;-(


1) Is there a common 'high street' place where I might pick one up
please?


www.rswww.co.uk

Product ID 447-027

Thanks for that. The 'problem' with mail order is by the time I've
bought the cable Plus Vat n P&P I'm not far short of a new steamer ..
?
Maplin www.maplin.co.uk offer a "Hot Condition Euro Line Socket"
product ID MK20W for £2.13. They have stores all over and will do
mail order online.

Nothing 'local' to me though though, and you know how easy is is on
there to get to the free postage valye .. sigh ;-)

Or maybe you can get 'hot', non notched plugs?

Guess if it's got the notch then you can depend on it's performance in
hot conditions according to some standard.

I believe so. I *think* you can use the notched ones in the non noched
sockets so they would be more versatile?

All the best .. and thanks for the links etc
