Could you please give a link to the regs etc which support this claim?

There is legislation in force about the manufacture of domestic vacuum
cleaners above a certain power input. The idea being to force the makers
to improve their efficiency. But it doesn't apply to industrial machines.

The kettle thing is simply lies, since you can't increase the efficiency
of that to any major extent.


That's what the law means. That's one of the first things the Eu will
do for us. Comprendi?


I'd guess you love reading about such things in the press of your choice.
So have a read of this Telegraph article:-
