    I must admit I have a small tendency to look upon todays young as "can`t add up without a calculator and don`t know how to wire a plug" having said that in the age of gas ovens my mates older twin brothers used an electric kettle firs time by plugging it in then puttng it on the lit stove to boil as would have normally done with a "normal kettle" . These two were Grammar School lads who went on to uni too.


    our infants can run rings round us with tech things but seem blissfully unaware of things we used to think of as "uncommon sense" .


    Maybe it`s purely a shift in empathis rather than dumb up/down as a whole?

    There were a few cases of the old kettle connectors being ejected into a sink or bowl of water when the kettle boiled dry, in cases where the kettle was used close to the kitchen sink!


    Perhaps that's where the 15th Edition ideas about bonding everything including the kitchen sink came from? ?
