RUSSELL HOBBS 21600 Illuminating Glass Jug Kettle - Stainless Steel £29.97 @ Curry's

Good kettle. I paid 40 for it about 1 month ago

Me too! though I bought mine in December.
...the lid's still on it which is a good sign!
It seems more robust than the old design, the one with the "Autumn leaf" lid ( falls off after 6 months!)

same price on Amazon and free next day delivery with Prime, I have Prime so ordered it.

This kettle is horrible if you like a ‘pristine’ glass look.
The hard water marks show daily!

But it is a good looking kettle (had one in the past)

Mine just blew up today after about 6 months. And the lid release got sticky due hard water deposits.

I hope everyone was okay? Did the shrapnel cause any damage?

Well, when I said blew up, I really meant it went "pop" and tripped the breaker. Highlight of the day.
