Andy, the kettle was kept in the open outside (not inside the house or in the kitchen).
The mouth of the kettle was covered with some material. The electric cable was not
around being that it can be stolen as well. Mostly likely the owner will bring along
the power cable when he need to use it for his coffee. I saw the kettle while on my
rounds of street photography. It was the thickness of the chain that puzzled me
about the attitude of the owner of this shining new electric kettle. :lol:
