That's not even funny it's so close to being the truth. More or Less yesterday would be useful listening for some.

Does Johnson know of a different Ohm’s law which new kettles obey?Savings tip.
Vote for cr4p.
Expect to be crapped on.
Liz?
I wouldn’ date anyone called Liz let alone rely on one for my future welfare!
Wtf are people thinking….. if they still are?
Wake up.
Negotiate a peace in Ukraine.
Or your Fkd.
They live in a fantasy world where real world laws don't apply, and that could be said for more than just Ohm's law!Does Johnson know of a different Ohm’s law which new kettles obey?
Was it towing a caravanI followed a van with cavity wall insulation listed on its left hand rear door and cavity wall insulation removal on t’other door. ‘Nuff said?
V=IR or R=V/I or I=V/R...sorry just seeing if I've still got it...Does Johnson know of a different Ohm’s law which new kettles obey?

Yes - Watts = Volts X Current.Indeed. But this rather ignores the (potential) losses. So while the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a fixed amount of water from a temperature to another temperature is, indeed, not amenable to Boris alterations, how efficiently your kettle uses that electricity is amenable to change.....
...... but not by very much

Playing Devil’s advocate in support of BJ an older kettle may boil more slowly and therefore losses to the surroundings over a greater time may reduce efficiency, but as Catman says “it won’t be much.” Say 1 more minute to boil may consume/‘lose’ 25 Watts out of a 2.2kW kettle - estimate 1%. Over a year assuming 2 daily boils at 2min each, this consumes 365x 2.2x2/60 kWh- 27kWh at say a cost of 30p - ~£8 total cost. Even a generous 2% on top of that would add no more than about 16p. Check my back of the envelope??

You’re all using more electricity debating this than the savings. So here’s an idea, shut the internet. But not my favorite sites….I'm sure your numbers could be more accurate, but it's such a trivial amount, it's clear it's not worth worrying about.

Getting rid of the Bentley certainly helped though ChrisOh I'm not debating. I will continue to use that energy that supports my lifestyle. I'm amused at a large amount of BS about how we 'solve' the energy crisis.....in the next 10 minutes.
I, of course, am one of the lucky ones. Yes I will feel the increase in energy prices (and the rest of the cost of living) but I have plenty of fat I can cut from our lifestyle before we have actual pain.
Not denying that there will be many who will very much struggle for a variety of reasons. The point is more around that a new kettle is not going to help.....

Also Boris forgetting how much energy was used to mine metals or extract oil to make another kettle and ship it halfway round the world. Not sure there is a nett gain.
If the old kettle dies then by all means replacing it with a more efficient kettle makes sense. To throw an old one away that works fine seem less likely to be useful to the planet.
Mmmm......seems like a similar argument nobody really is able to answer with cars
