One thing in that thread;

> Most UK kettles are not 3000W, and most of the ones that are, are junk. Y

They may not be 3 kW, but even the most basic of them are 2200W [0], and 3000W ones are readily available are not much more expensive [1]. They're also not really junk - they're a lump of plastic, a hot plate and a thermistor - the difference between a £8 one and a £80 one is almost all aesthetics.
